Many of us feel that when we are tired and need to "sit a spell" we
should still keep our hands busy with productive work. Playing a game
such as computer solitaire doesn't fit that description, even though
it's fun. Here's a challenging mental exercise that expands a person's
vocabulary and helps the needy in the process. Sound improbable? I

run at the bottom of the game pages who fund the charity. I admit to
being something of a vocabulary nut - fascinated with the wonderful
complexity and versatility of our language - and to me this is great
fun and worthwhile as well.
