Text Twist

If you are into word games (like me) then you will find that text twist is a real treat. All you have to do is go to http://get.games.yahoo.com/proddesc?gamekey=texttwist and click on the 'Play Web Game' and you can basically kiss the next 3 hours goodbye. This has actually become a ritual for me at work.....thats probably bad when you associate your work with an internet game of Text Twist. I swear in the summertime I actually truly work...really hard. Anyway, first you select a scribe. This person actually sits at the computer and types in the words. Then you gather about 4-5 people who all try and guess words. (Text Twist gives you 6 scrambled letters and you have to come up with the all the possible words those 6 letters make). Now the golden egg of this game is guessing the 6 letter word which can be difficult, but very rewarding.

Our Customer Service Manager is constantly calling "meetings" with us account managers. They consist of him walking in our office, shutting the door, and him saying, "A quick round of Text Twist!" So if any of you have a spare minute you should check it out. Or if you are at work and need to call a quick meeting....it's a great ice breaker.
