Time Out For Some Online Fun

Hi All,

Welcome to the weekend edition of the reference blog. How is this different than our regular, daily reference blog? Simple, this entry is dedicated to fun (since it is the weekend).

What fun are we talking about? We're talking, Sudoku fun, crossword puzzle fun, games fun - well, pretty much all things online that are fun!

So...if you like Sudoku - and who doesn't - click here to find more puzzles than you can shake a stick at. Site includes interactive tutorials and puzzles vary in difficulty.

If you are interested in crossword puzzles, click here for dozens of them which, like the Sudoku puzzles above, vary in difficulty.

If you have some time to while away the hours, might I suggest visiting Yahoo! ? Sure you know it as a large search engine and a great way to get news, weather and much more information - but did you know that the site has a huge game section? Click here to visit the Yahoo! Games portal.

The site has some very helpful tabs at the top of the page which include arcade games, board games, card games, puzzle games, word games, downloads, multiplayer games, skill based games, and video games. In most cases you will need to create a Yahoo! account (it is free and easy to create) to play the games for any length of time - but if you like the site it might be worth it to sign up. Again the account is free!

A very cursory look at the various board games available on the site is very interesting. Users can play chess, mahjong, backgammon, checkers, dominoes, boggle, risk and various jigsaw puzzles.

Finally, for those folks who are interested in jigsaw puzzles, the web is filled with sites to fill that jigsaw puzzle craving you have. You might want to visit Jigzone, and PuzzleWarehouse to find some puzzles to complete.

Regards and happy gaming!
