Word games for your brain

I was searching for a clue for some english crossword and came across this site, which offers various word games. You can find the list of games here: http://www.wordplays.com/help/word-games/ Most of the word games are very interesting. My favourite one is word morph (Mention in the comments if you are able to beat 920 ;) ) Apart from the entertainment part, these type of exercises if played on reguar basis, can improve the cognitive functions of our mind (mainly memory, attention and executive function) significantly, and also, provide a nice way to enhance the vocabulary. There is also an android app for similar type of games, named "Text twist". Give them a try, you'll defnitely like it.
