Word puzzles and Activities. My Favorite!!! - This is the first of 3 books by Nancy Linde, and they are my absolute favorites of this genre (brain, mind activities). The book has many types of puzzles: ALMA'S SHOPPING LIST - anagrams ANAGRAMS CLASSIC RIDDLES COMPOUND WORD SEARCH - Put two pictures together to make a compound word. (Ex. picture of a crab + picture of grass = crabgrass) DOUBLE TROUBLE - Compound Words ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS EPONYMS FAMOUS MOVIE LINES FIND THE WORDS - Find all words beginning with a certain letter in a picture FINISH THE JINGLE, FINISH THE SAYING FOLLOW THE RULES HOMONYMS MONTH IN HISTORY - Identify important dates ODD MAN OUT ONE MINUTE MADNESS - How many items you can list for a subject in one minute PALINDROMES PICTURE THEMES PUT THE LIST IN ORDER RHYME TIME - two definitions that must rhyme RUN THE ALPHABET - Different categories where you come up with a word for every letter of the alphabet. STINKY PINKY - Two clues, answers rhyme. (Ex. An introverted insect. Answer: SHY FLY) TRIMBLE WACKY WORDIES WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON? - Ex. Bowling alleys, seamstresses, and hand grenades. Answer: Pins WHATZIT - Guess the thing from clues WHOOZY - Guess the person from clues WORD PARTS - Ex. The opposite of out + verdict deciders. Answer: In + jury = injury. WORD SEARCH This is just a small fraction of the activities. There's a large variety of activities which are all fun, interesting, and challenging. NOTE: These are all word activities, no number puzzles such as Sudoko, etc. Review: Better than Trivial Pursuit! - excellent set of brain engagers by Nancy Linde. The book is fun and not just for seniors... but with seniors there is also the answer section. Where? But of course in the back of the book if you get stumped. The only part that is not so great is having to check off or write the answer or selection in the book... especially if you want someone else to take a stab at some of them. There are ways around it as in using a pad...With over 400 pages it is voluminous but each area has an easy to read intro and instructions. Each section is full of fun and engaging puzzle, trivia & word games. E.G. in one minute how many of the ten commandments can you list? There are some sections that maybe stumpers and you may need to brush up on your "whatits" and "whoozies". If you can't name the seven deadly sins in 30 seconds (p.s. if you like wine there is one called seven Zins and they are on the bottle) or name the type of critter this is I.e. Pepe Le Pew then this book should be a fun book for you as it is sure to test your long term memory, working memory, processing speed and executive functioning. I have to get back to the Odd Man Out Section; Hoover, Reagan, Truman, Eisenhower while noting which one is the odd man out and why. ## Features - A lively mix of challenges, riddles, brainteasers to stimulate neuron growth! - Based on scientific research - concentrated cognitive efforts increase functioning - An illustrated game book specifically created to cross-train the brain - Recommended by a brain neuroscientist for brain strength, flexibility, long-term health ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,826 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Trivia (Books) #22 in Logic & Brain Teasers (Books) #29 in Puzzles (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 7,914 Reviews | ## Images ![399 Games, Puzzles & Trivia Challenges Specially Designed to Keep Your Brain Young. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71r1hzO2caL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best of the Genre!
