These letter dice come from a game called Boggle, described as a "hidden word game" and played by my younger self and my sister and friends about a million times over the years.

For the Macro Mondays challenge "Relaxation" (July 3rd 2017)
Some folks like to play solitaire to wind down and relax, for me it's word games, or word puzzles. Scrabble, online "Words With Friends" (WWF), WordJong I love them all - but for me it all began with the crossword puzzle - and it's how I met my husband too ;o)

I am an avid Wordle player and on 11 May I reached a streak of 1,000.
If you don't know Wordle: it is a word game - you get 6 chances to guess the word of the day, which is always a five-letter word. After each guess you know which (if any) of the letters you guessed were correct, and if they were in the correct position.
The most challenging thing is that you have to play the game every day - if you forget to play or can't, you lose your 'streak' and you have to start from zero again 😭

My favorite game is Scrabble. I've had this particular game board for a looooong time. Totally makes me smile!
My first 365 shot - good advice?

One of my favourite games, Scrabble. My mom and I have played hundreds of games. It too bad she now lives so far away. When I opened the game box to get my tiles, I found the score card from when Mom and I last played. It must be years old now. What a great memory.
Happy Macro Monday everyone!

I know minorities have been downtrodden in the past and I know injustice exists in the world.
But I do find it strange that people wish to 'paint themselves' into a victim pigeon hole provided for them by the same establishment which has held them back for so long…
And many of these people seem to genuinely believe that the same establishment that held them back for so long is now the same force that will right the wrongs.
Do you not think it is possible you are being exploited?
Or to put it in other words...
- The establishment has long held you back
- But suddenly the establishment loves you
- And you don’t smell something fishy?
Maybe normal people are not your enemy

I never pass up the chance to buy another box of Anagrams. I prefer the old wooden ones, but when there is color involved.... plastic works too. Something about letters.... oh, who am I kidding....? Something about STUFF. I have way too much stuff. It's very cool stuff, though! ; )
For Macro Mondays "Red" theme.
Even doctored up on cold meds my opponent still beat me 5 out of 5 times. It's not even that I'm that terrible, she's just that good.
The first place we went to yesterday in Bonn was a lovely little café called "Schokoladen" (a wordgame mixture from chocolate and shop) and this certainly was chocoholic's heaven! They sell all sorts and kinds of chocolate you can think of and some more!
Summer, joy, love, shine, hot - these words come to my mind when i look at this image!
So let's play a game: Write down as many words as you want that come to your mind when you look at this picture (kind of association), please don't read the other's words before you write down yours and don't think so much, just quickly! I'm just curious! :)
Of course you can write a normal comment after your words...
Have a beautiful weekend my friends!

Lately, we've developed a habit of playing Scrabble. One day, Kate's schedule was full, so I suggested we play with 9 tiles. I figured it would go faster. And here I thought I was being an innovator, but after looking at the rules, it turns out that's a recommended variation. The play does go faster AND you can make much more interesting words. We weren't even keeping score.

Aínda que o xogo de palabras queda mellor en castelán, de xeito que a organización á que dirixirse para visitar este castelo se chame "Entre cielo y Tiedra".
Porque é neste pequeno pobo entre Valladolid e Zamora, Tiedra, onde se atopa este castelo duns mil anos de antigüedade. De tamaño acorde co da poboación, está situado nun pequeno outeiro dende o que se vixían ducias de kilómetros en dirección Toro e Zamora, incluíndo o castelo de Villalonso a case que tiro de pedra.
Ten o atractivo de saber que aquí estiveron o Cid e dona Urraca discutindo os seus asuntos, e estar situado nun sitio afotable pero nada sinxelo. E a outro tiro de pedra pero sabendo por onde ir, que non é tan evidente, Mota do Marqués.
Tamén hai aquí unha igrexa medio derruída, pero quedará para outra ocasión xa se iso. Mentras tanto, o problema destes sitios, se acaso, é que todos teñen como horario de visita os findes e festivos e moi pouquiñas horas, polo que facer unha ruta que inclúa visita-los interiores é máis ben complicado.
Pero fotos... se o que se trata é de facer fotos...
-------------------
Although the wordgame suits better for Spanish, thus the organization you have to contact in order to visit this castle is called "Entre cielo y Tiedra" (between heaven/sky and Tiedra).
Because in this little village between Valladolid an Zamora, Tiedra, is where this castle has been for the last thousand years. Its size is that of the village, and it's placed on top of a little hill from which you can watch dozens of kilometers towards Toro and Zamora, including the castle of Villalonso, just a stone throw away.
Its appeal includes knowing the Cid and Doña urraca met here and discussed their things, and being placed in a very picturesque place, although it's not that easy to take a good photo of it. And just another stone throw away, but knowing how to get there, which it's not that obvious, Mota del Marqués.
There's also a ruined church in the village, although that will deserve a visit for another time if there's the chance. Meanwhile, the problem with this places is that, if anything, they're open for just a few hours on weekends and holidays, so it's quite complicated to visit the inside of them all in a single day.
But pictures... if it's all about taking pictures...

My heart-felt thanks to all who continue to comment on and fave my images! Reading what you say doesn't hurt at all! 8-)
I'm so sorry not to be more active on Flickr right now because of my painful arm! I try to get to a few of you each day!
Have an amazing Thursday and terrific weekend! 9-)
A friend from Facebook has challenged me to post 7 photos in the next week in Black and White. I had participated in this challenge here on Flickr back in January 2015, so here we try this again.
As a courtesy to my friends, both here on Flickr and on FB, I don't 'challenge' them as I do not know their time constraints. But if you would like to try it, just comment below "I'll Join You" and post your own photos.
All you do is for the next 7 days is take a photo in Black and White and post it.
Title it: "October 2017 B&W Challenge" and add your photo to your photostream. No group..just for fun.
Subject: Anything unplanned. Just black and white. Simple, eh?
Peggy and I enjoyed playing Scrabble yesterday. Thanks so much for your visits and comments:) Not much time for Flickr again today, but will try to catch up soon.
How many palindromes can you find in this photo?
This photo was taken on the shoulder of the southbound Highway 30 in Highland or Redlands, California. (I don't know exactly where the city limits are.) There is another palindromic odometer here. I think this photo came out better than the first one I tried.

Update: This image was used to accompany the article, Would a Mileage Tax Punish Green Drivers?, by Josh Loposer, on February 20, 2009.

There is an article in the journal Nature about multiple palindromes: Abundant gene conversion between arms of palindromes in human and ape Y chromosomes. I have absolutely no idea what the authors are talking about.
Here is something interesting you can do by squaring numbers consisting only of the digits "1" (the products are all palindromes):
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
The only palindromic year in the 21st century was 2002. If you type 2002 into a calculator and turn it upside-down, it will still read 2002.
A palindromic prime is a number that is simultaneously palindromic and prime. The first 17 (a base-10 prime number) base-10 palindromic primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, 373, 383, 727, 757, and 787.
10^150006 + 7426247 x 10^75000 + 1 is a 150007-digit palindromic prime.
In the April 1984 Scientific American "Computer Recreations" column, an article appeared about mathematical patterns (F. Gruenberger, Computer Recreations, "How to Handle Numbers with Thousands of Digits, and Why One Might Want To.", Scientific American, 250 [No. 4, April, 1984], 19-26.). Here's the algorithm:
1. Pick a number.
2. Reverse its digits and add this value to the original number.
3. If this is not a palindrome, go back to step 2 and repeat.
Do all numbers eventually become palindromes by this process? It was suggested that this is the case.
Most numbers become palindromes fairly quickly, in only a couple of steps:
13
1. 13 + 31 = 44
64
1. 64 + 46 = 110
2. 110 + 011 = 121
87
1. 87 + 78 = 165
2. 165 + 561 = 726
3. 726 + 627 = 1353
4. 1353 + 3531 = 4884
In fact, about 80% of all numbers under 10,000 solve in 4 or less steps. About 90% solve in 7 steps or less. A rare case, number 89, takes 24 iterations to become a palindrome. It takes the most steps of any number under 10,000 that has been resolved into a palindrome.
Does every number eventually become a palindrome? Nobody knows for sure, since it has never been proven. There are some numbers that do not appear to ever form a palindrome. The first one is 196. Such numbers are called Lychrels. The search to resolve this number has been referred to as the 196 Algorithm or the 196 Problem, but normally called the 196 Palindrome Quest.
The 20-digit number 10,200,000,000,065,287,900 solves after 257 iterations.
(The information starting with the paragraph about the April 1984 Scientific American issue and continuing to here is from a fascinating web page about the 196 Palindrome Quest.)
Not that it has a relation to the 196 Palidrome Quest, the 196th numerical palindrome is 9779.
I found a web site devoted to the 196 Palindrome Quest: http://www.p196.org/.
My favorite alphabetic palindrome is the sentence, "Do geese see God?" Most sentences like this don't make much sense.
