    Big Smile [:D] If you like to play Word Games

    Sometimes it is time to work, and sometimes it is time to play. If you like games as I do, you are going to find this one a challenge, and absolutely free!

    An individual with too much time on their hands - •This game was contributed by Sporcle user: davidr - has given us this opportunity to determine if you can name the top 100 words used in the english language.

    I suppose that it was done with a computer program of some type, and I think it just may be accurate. I managed to do 41 words in the 12 minutes available. I am planning to try again in a few days to see if I can better that number.

    Take a minute to have some fun!

    Pat,

    Thank you for sharing this! I love games and this was really fun and challenging. I could not name them all, I managed 53. I am going to share this link with my mother who loves word games. Thanks again, kt3234 Karen

    You are so welcome.  Gamers understand that finding a different game can be so exciting.  Good word games are difficult to find.  I am going to retry this one in a few days.  I want to do better than 41.

    Did anyone do better than 53?

    Best wishes to you and yours for a happy holiday season, Pat

    Thank you so much again! This was great fun! My Mom really enjoyed it. She e-mailed me after playing and she said she only got 40 of them. I have not shared it with anyone else as of yet but I am planning on sending it to a few friends. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday filled with love and laughter. kt3234 Karen

    I tried it again today.  I studied the list after the last time I took it, but waited for 5 days.

    I got 59 this time.  I missed one in the top 10.  It is funny, I also missed several that I got the first time.

    I am planning to get into the mid 70s before I gi e it up.  LOL

    Excellent!!  It is interesting that if you take it again, your number will be different and not necessarily higher.

    I enjoy games like this one, do you know of others?

    After all this time, I got 59 again. . . .

    Well, at least I am consistent.
