I chose to play most daily crosswords and other puzzles when I retired in 2015 because I'd read for years these games might help delay or ward off many Alzheimer's issues. I still enjoy those, and encourage others to utilize them for brain health.

Hi AARPTeri

I was wondering, when I try to 'buy' extra time on Word WIpe, that it says I don't have 1500 points to "buy" more time. I have over 58,000 points! How can I resolve this issue?

I am taking beginning canasta lessons at our local Art Museum through a lifetime learning group. It’s weekly &fun! My 3 table mates hope to make it to my house after our next session for a light lunch & a little-more concentrated play!

I like to play the games to sharpen my brain and also to get reward points. I am, however, considering finding another game site that doesn't have so many glitches, ads, and promises of reward points that I don't get. Despite numerous on line chats with help line and phone calls, nothing changes and I'm about done with it. No one there seems to care about the screw ups though as nothing ever changes.
