PC Games and Online Crossword Puzzles Keep My Brain Moving Right Along |

Rather than thinking that PC games are a perk in life, I believe that they are excellent ways to keep my mind active and growing. The brain needs exercise, too, and what better way to get it than playing PC games or puzzles online. I start each morning with a couple of card games and when my work day is done, I treat myself to an online crossword puzzle to wrap the day up and completely unwind.
I love playing PC games and I play the card games from software. One of the reasons I play the crosswords online is that some of them have letter prompts for each letter in the square so I can get hints as I play without cheating by looking in the back of a paper crossword puzzle book. I find that the online hints keep me thinking longer rather than just giving up, which for me, is the whole purpose of PC games and online puzzles. I find it's like the difference between using a treadmill for exercise, or hiking in mountainous country. Sure, the treadmill works fine for exercising, but when hiking in the mountains, no matter how small, the only constant is that each step is different from the next, which is a far more physically engaging way to exercise. I like that in my mental exercise, too because it's so much more satisfying.
