ROTFL!  i know what you mean, missy m.  it really IS addictive!  i think
scrabble buffs are the most "hookable"!  i know i got hooked, too and i love
scrabble.  wish you hadn't told me about the cleaning cookies and
downloads.LOL  i just kept looking for new sites with the game.

So I'm hanging out at home, too sick with a kidney infection to even
walk down the stairs and what do you do?  You post a link to
bookworm.  I thought bubbles was bad!  I became an instant addict.  I
tried all the one hour free trials and then I tried the free yahoo wen
version.  I became manipulative (if you clean your cookies and delete
your downloads,  you can keep going with the free trial thing forever
or almost). Now it is weeks later and  I just spent the 19.95 to buy
the darned thing and I have never done that before for any game.

That is not the problem-the problem is that I can hang out playing
bookworm for an eternity but it gets worse...bookworm is not
scrabble.  They don't count many many words that are indeed words.  So
now I am trying to get them to update bookworm using a scrabble
dictionary.  This has become my campaign; this has become my passion;
this has become my life!  I thought we were friends, Joe <g>

If you think that is bad, try wordslinger. Available at most of the
game places, including yahoo games. It is a combination between
scrabble and crossword. I never paid, but played the free hour but
since then they have allowed me five free minutes. The free minutes
have continued for a long while, so anytime i need a quick game break,
I play. Sometimes I play a few five minute sessions.

LOL!  I am certainly NOT introducing my husband to this game, then!  I have
enough trouble sometimes getting him to quit playing Scrabble online long
enough for me to check email.  Then again, he might give it up if they don't
use the Scrabble dictionary which, of course, includes many "words" that are
not common English usage.  Some aren't common usage much of anywhere.  (does
anyone actually know anyone who commonly calls pizza "za"?  That was a recent
addition to the Scrabble dictionary.)

Ya know I managed to avoid this monster before.  I mostly try to stay away
from new games.  But you made me look.  And I haven't got anything else done
all day.

Bubbles is more relaxing, but this one makes me feel clever.  Even if I'm
just making up three letter words that turn out to be real after all.

And Charlie wonders why I never get anything done around here.  (He isn't
getting anything done either, but he does manage to sit around and wonder
why I don't)
