LOL, I'm dyslexic so the first time I tried I only found 5 words. The timer counting down didn't help. I figured that there was a reward at the end and was all set to post on their forums that they needed to increase the time because 5 minutes for a dyslexic to look at all those words is definitly not enough time, LOL To my surprise it gave me a second chance. I managed to get through that one with 11 seconds to spare. I tried a 3rd time but only found about 1/2 of the words. Plus by that time I had grown bored. I do those types of puzzles all of the time in books as an exercise in concentration for my dyslexia because I find that it helps me. However, doing them on a computer screen in front of you is harder, at least I found it to be. It was fun though!! I think more sites should have little events like this one that is going on. Of course while some consider it a waste of time unless there is something in it for them at the end other than just a bit of fun, I enjoy going off the beaten path and just "playing" without a purpose or reward. But then again, I'm a kid at heart and still enjoy going to the park and playing on the swings even though I'm in my 40's.

heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
