I hardly see anything but the scrabble-type or word-jumble word game in the paper or the classic crossword now. Sudoku? It's so 2012, do they still do that? My Mother plays some word games online, but she is old and her generation can't support that genre forever. Mad-libs? I never see them any more. Are word games dying?

a lot of people still do with their phone, and i still see it in all newspapers and still magazines being sold at newsstands. so there is a market.

I see I've started a hot trend here on SimHQ. I guess that makes me a trailblazer.

Oh, those types of word games. wink wink


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Many children (12 and under) I come in contact with can't rub three words together to form a coherent sentence... schools in my neck of the woods are more interested in teaching social justice than they are reading, science, and math.
