1. Game Time-Let's get the day started with some games. You can play eitherEight Letter Game or Wordsearch.
Also play our new game, Knoword. Here is the website's definition:

Knoword is a game of quick thinking, smart decisions and great words. When you begin, you will be given one randomly generated dictionary definition along with the first letter of its corresponding word. You must fill in the rest of the word to experience a gain in points and an added time bonus. You will start off with one minute before the game ends, and every word is an opportunity to extend your time. If you're ever stuck on a word, just hit the skip button and a new puzzle will present itself.

If you're able to string together correct answers, you will notice yourWord streak counter increasing. You can accumulate badges and additional points by achieving certain amounts of consecutively correct words... How far can you get?
