Fun and games 🧩

I've been enjoying a couple of Gemini puzzle games.

SpellBinding

This is simple enough: make words from a set of letters. I can't do it all at once because my brain just makes the same words again. If I leave it for a bit and come back, new words come easier.

=> SpellBinding - have a go

Puzzlemaster StackSmith is keen to use US words and spellings, and particularly avoids "Britishisms". No problem with that except I sometimes learn that words I thought common are in fact peculiar to the country I live in.

=> Here's a whole blog that makes me say "That's not the universal way to say that in English??"

Where In The World

This is harder: from an outline, name a country. You get hints about how wrong you are and which direction to go in. I learned that there are many small island nations, and they all look like... small islands. You don't get many guesses so I usually fail, but today I got one.

Puzzlemaster Acidus gives you a score thingy like this:
