Web games and puzzles - from Probus South Pacific There are literally hundreds of game and puzzle apps available to download for your iPhone or Android via the App Store or Google Play respectively. To save you the trouble of trying them all, we’ve hand-picked a few favourites among older players in particular. If you’re into word-finding games, Spelling Bee and Letter Boxed – both big names in the New York Times Games along with Wordle – are easy to learn yet difficult to master. Spelling Bee is all about making as many words as you can with seven letters, while Letter Boxed asks you to connect the letters around a square to make words and solve the puzzle. Moving away from words altogether, check out Vertex – an interactive version of a tangram (Chinese geometric puzzle) where you connect the dots and reveal the hidden picture – or Tiles, an artistically designed, high-level take on Mah-Jong solitaire, a classic tile game, where you match elements to keep the chain going. And then there’s the well-established Tangle Maser 3D, a rope-sorting mind puzzle game where your goal is to untangle all of the ropes into the correct position to complete each level. Fancy yourself as a solver of all sorts of riddles? You might enjoy Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles, which is filled with hundreds of different puzzles across many brain-teasing levels to test your skills and get you thinking creatively. |

Movies Have you watched the SBS on Demand series 1 of Departure. It was a gripping series and we couldn’t wait for series 2, which proved to be very disappointing compared to Series 1 with poor acting. Another great series is New Amsterdam available on Netflix and Stan; and we are looking forwards to the next series. Manifest is a series on Netflix based on a plane disappearing and then reappearing 5 years later with all passengers the same age as when the plane disappeared – very griping and worth a watch.

LEXOPHILIA - WHO ON EARTH DREAMS THESE UP? A lexophile of course! No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery. If you don't pay your exorcist you can get repossessed. I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can't put it down. I didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on me. Did you hear about the crossed-eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn't control her pupils? When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble. When chemists die, they barium. I stayed up all night to see where the sun went, and then it dawned on me. I changed my iPod's name to Titanic. It's syncing now. England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool . Haunted French pancakes give me the crepes. This girl today said she recognized me from the Vegetarians Club, but I'd swear I've never met herbivore I know a guy who's addicted to drinking brake fluid, but he says he can stop any time. A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months. When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A. I got some batteries that were given out free of charge. A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail. A will is a dead giveaway. With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress. Police were summoned to a day-care centre where a three-year-old was resisting a rest. Did you hear about the fellow whose entire left side was cut off? He's all right now. A bicycle can't stand alone; it's just two tired. The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine last week is now fully recovered. He had a photographic memory but it was never fully developed. When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she'd dye. Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point of it. Those who get too big for their pants will be totally exposed in the end. |
