The game is fun, and the website - celebrating its 20th anniversary - is indeed damn interesting.

Damn Interesting is a mefi favorite with 58 previouslies, but no mentions here for a few years. Worth a revisit! Next, you may already know about Waffle Game, with daily and weekly puzzles plus a bonus daily for supporters. The creator James Robinson has recently added Lettergrams, a cool mini solo scrabble game where you use bonus squares wisely to max your score. The Waffle site also has Number Waffle, Stackdown, and Zen Word Search - all gentle games where you play for stars, or can turn off the timer if there is one. I do believe that both Alan and James are real humans. As am I, despite my use of dashes. Finally, here's a final fun recommendation from Alan, Ribbit: like Zanagrams but more fun because cute frogs!]]> https://www.metafilter.com/214333/Some-more-games-for-you-to-play tag:metafilter.com,2026:site.214333 Sun, 30 Aug 2026 12:16:41 GMT evilmomlady games puzzles https://www.metafilter.com/214333/Some-more-games-for-you-to-play/rss All Crops Aren't Bastards Crop Art Tributes to the Minnesota Resistance [PDF]
