The Washington Post Online Wants You To Play More Than Just Crosswords Now

I know it’s wrong but whenever you see old men reading the news paper, whether it’s in real life or the movies you mostly just assume it’s The Washington Post, it’s been around for what seems like forever. Now if those same men are financial types or in New York then they would be reading The Wall Street Journal but that’s not the point here. The Washington Post’s website is trying to change that old stuffy image and adding more than just the standard Daily and ever challenging Sunday Crossword Puzzles to its online games section. They’ve added a good mix of games, Spider Solitaire, Eggz, 52 Card Pickup, Tri-Peaks SOlitare, Jigsaw, Klondike Solitaire Gold, Mahjongg Dark Dimensions, Mahjongg Dimensions, Pool, Monkey Gems, PegLand, Spellbound, Sudoku, Treasure Hunt, Word Search, Sparks, Pyramid Solitaire Silver, Spliterature, Arctic Tri Peaks Solitaire, Beach Sudoku, Mahjongg Toy Chest, Addiction Solitaire, Eggz Blast, Fairway Solitaire, Second Glance, Crickler and Mega Sudoku. Not a bad mix at all and if you’re wondering about all the Solitaire variants, just think of all those games of Solitaire you played back during Computers 101. So if you’re looking for some free web games to pass the time or hell if you hate cleaning off peoples PC who download loads of crappy free spyware infested games remember to go to http://games.washingtonpost.com/ for free fun.

    Please bring the old website format back. I like my Sunday crossword the old fashioned way, with pen and paper.
