Word time lucky

Solitairehas been a constant fixture for professional procrastinators since time immemorial.

Instead of stacking decks, you have to create five-letter words using the lettered cards given to you.

Do you want to spell Swine next?

A list of completed words hangs in the left corner while a row of unused lettered cards stack in the middle in Word Solitaire

Well, tough luck.

That Ns hiding under a pesky V you should probably use first.

Maybe the game will accept Swive.

My family used to idly click away at Solitaire and Id mimic them, without understanding the rules.

Id mindlessly match cards together until I cheesed a victory or simply got bored.

But over the years, I recognised Solitaire as a seemingly simple, increasingly complicated game.

Word Solitaire changes the rules but keeps the learning curve.

I was thinking of future-me in every decision.

Is this what self-care looks like?

Anyway, its a fun mix of Wordle and Solitaire.
