Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
Another day, another Boggle contest for the family (though the daughter seldom joins in). I am on a roll recently (barely winning, but winning nonetheless). Tonight we had a particularly rough Boggle board...
Every once in a while you get 2 rows (or columns) that are all consonants and none connected that have a combined sound. For three minutes we struggled and in the end no one scored any points as we all had: you, dye, fed, and out. This was the hardest one we had ever had I think. While the son has not ever won (despite a 30 point handicap on a 50 point game) he does play the spoiler quite a bit, knocking off good words that only one of us had written down. I think he likes playing that part. Another word game that we discovered recently is Key Master. It is an online game located at the Addicting Games website. The basic premise is that as monsters come toward you to do you damage, they carry with them a word. If you type in that word and hit the enter key, you shoot a laser at them and they die. You have to be a quick and accurate typist to get very far. I see why the site is called Addicting Games as the wife is truly addicted to the game. The son tries to play but he is quite limited as he is still a hunt and peck kind of typist.
Sorry for the short entry tonight, the wife needs the computer for other purposes. Only one more blog until #300 (woo hoo).
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
