    wow, that's quite the post, todd.

    These are a huge time suck for me. I love word games, crosswords, sudoku, etc. I had to take them off my Facebook profile because they were sucking up hours and hours of my time...but I still love them...

    Isabelle, I appreciate the feedback. I've been a big fan of Scrabulous from day 1. I usually have several games going at once. Honestly though, my play is really off some days. Ha.

    Thanks again.

    Is it possible to buy Pathwords so that it can be used off line? If anyone knows e-mail me at bownessj@aol.com

    I have always enjoyed word games. Yahoo games is enjoyable but the trial stage always puts me off. I'll try these Facebook games you cited.
