I came across your word search puzzle by clicking on the "Browse By Type" over there on the left side. I love scanning those Word Search options finding something different and educational in some cases.
Further Thoughts:
This was an educational type whereby the words to uncover are synonyms for the word "disturb." Puzzles like these stretch the mind for writers to use words outside the common word. It brings more depth to our story writing. I like that!
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
This puzzle was fun to do and relaxing. It wasn't one of those that strained the brain, which can become tedious when looking for a game to play to pass the time in between other chores. I'm delighted I found this out of the many pages of Word Search puzzles to pore through, to find the right one for the current mood of the player.
Good job!
Until next time--puzzle on!

I came across this fun quiz in your Official WDC Romance Newsletter.
My Thoughts:
I enjoyed taking this puzzle since When Harry Met Sally is an old-time favorite movie of mine. I love the romantic tension between the two good friends and how that comes to light in such a humorous way. I think Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal were perfect for this movie. They had the chemistry needed to pull the movie together and make it a classic romantic comedy.
Further Thoughts:
Your quiz had some good questions that were not too simple. One had to reach into the cobwebs and picture the story in their mind. I guess I will never forget the restaurant scene. Classic! I still picture Rob Reiner's mom's response.
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
Great puzzle. Medium difficulty level, and all round fun bringing us back to that movie that brought us a memorable romance that developed between two good friends.

I am also reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest" Thank you for entering our August "Beat The Heat," flash fiction prompt.
Initial Thoughts:
Curious brief description. I sensed a conflict of ideas and sense of humor would be involved.
Further Thoughts:
This was a clever take on the prompt by adding science, mistakes in science and a young assistant saving the day. It goes to show you, jumping to conclusions in science never works out well. Benny is quite the bright assistant. I like how the ending turned out. It could have been devastating!
Parting Thoughts:
You followed the rules, prompt. The Prompt words were highlighted in bold font. Also, the word count was within 300 words and given at the bottom of the entry.

I am also reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest" . Thank you for entering our August "Beat the heat" flash fiction contest.
First Impression:
I love the title. How Greek god of you. Adonis, the god of beauty and desire. I knew what to expect just by the title. I also knew I'd enjoy the "heat" by the pool. There was nothing more to do except dive right in.
Further Thoughts:
Your expertise on all subjects romance is impeccable, of course. I always enjoy reading the hot and spicy stories you write. It is a gift, of course. I loved your descriptions of the Adonis, his movements and especially his chocolate eyes. What a dreamy pool that is to imagine diving into.
Your story is told through a writer's mind setting the scene in her head, and becoming the voyeur that pulls the reader right into the story as if participating in the fantasy with the Adonis. Pretty sensual, indeed.
Parting Thoughts:
You wrap up the story perfectly. A bit of humor which is always a fine ending.

Review!
I found your item while perusing the "Read A Newbie" page.
Initial Thoughts:
I like your title. It has the strength of personal knowledge earned and learned through many years of life. That alone hooked me into reading your prose-poem.
Further Thoughts:
Your lines are wonderfully woven with life's little adjustments as one ages. Yes, early on the need to be "cool" and to fit into a group is usually how the youth feel. Popularity is important. No one wants to feel like an outcast. Thankfully, we grow in time and begin to find our own unique qualities necessary for our success in the workplace. And, to feel normal and comfortable with who we are. It's all a learning experience.
As we age, we tend to let go of the group mind set and explore life from more personal view. We enjoy the small things we've missed while running in the rat race. Taking a walk and exploring what nature has to offer. (My interpretation based on your poem. I let my mind wander into my personal experiences over the years as I read this.)
Observations/Suggestions:
"bank & launch" Write out "and" rather than using "&" which distracts from the line.
"But that’s OK," Write out the word "okay it keeps the poem connected to the lines around it without that informality. It blends better with the profound thoughts you've expressed.
Parting Thoughts:
I loved the way you expressed the differences between youthful needs and the realization that as you get old none of that group inclusion and need for popularity matters.
Loved these lines:
"I’ll take my chances on the far outside edges.
I happen to know the guy throwing the bread –"
Very powerful way to wrap up the difference from young to old.

What brought me to your port?
I found this word search puzzle on the item Type search in my pursuit of new and unique subjects used in these puzzles. Your title, "Short Words" naturally caught my attention.
Further Thoughts:
Some people might think short word puzzles are faster to uncover. I know for a fact that they are not as easy as it may seem. Although the tile is physically smaller than most 25 word puzzles, the find could be challenging. The reason being is that tiny words become cross-over words already solves and hiding within the shaded part of the tile.
Suggestions:
Perhaps a bit of description above the tile, large font and color use. Also, adding an image of scrambled letters, etc would add a bit of ambience attracting in a new player. However, I'm here for the daily chores' distraction and the fun of it, so I didn't rate down.
Parting Thoughts:
I did enjoy enjoy doing this puzzle. A couple words were well-hidden and took a little patience. In the end I uncovered them all.
Conclusion:
I've been on a pursuit of interesting Word Search Puzzles. Today, I decided to take a trip to Wonderland.
Initial Thoughts:
This is a word puzzle about Alice In Wonderland themes. Many phrases that bring us back to our youth and our enjoyment of Alice's adventures by Lewis Carroll.
"Everyone is mad here"
"Off with their heads"
"Curiouser" All memorable lines!
Parting Thoughts:
I really enjoyed solving this puzzle. It was a good size, a fine list of words to uncover, and a puzzle I like for its fun and relaxation to break up a busy day!
Conclusion:
I came across your Word Search puzzle and decided to give it a try. Well, actually, I've been on a hunt for these puzzles as a form of relaxation ... or perhaps distraction since some puzzles do work the brain.
Your Puzzle:
It's a good size puzzle to solve. There are 21 words to uncover. The theme of the search is Valentine's Day. I'm a bit out of season for it, but it caught my eye and I went for it.
Further Thoughts:
It contains the usual words associated with the day of romance. A few longer words to solve, but it's the very small words that love to get lost in the tile. The one that kept me looking for the longest is "date" my last word solve on the puzzle.
Suggestion:
I suggest a bit more color and larger font size for the brief description over the tile. Also, an image appropriate to the occasion would be more inviting to draw in a puzzle solver.
However, I am here for the fun and distraction of everyday chores and I enjoyed it.
Parting Thoughts:
I enjoyed solving this Word search. It was indeed an odd time to think about Valentine's Day. However, it seems that this year is flying by. I guess it won't be long before the month of romance is here.
It was a relatively easy puzzle to solve, thus a relaxing one to clear the mind for a busy day ahead.
I was perusing your port and came across this little gem!
What Delighted Me?
If you can believe this, I've been re-watching Dark Shadows. It's available on one of my apps. I have really been enjoying watching the series again. I have not got to the episodes that your story is about. I guess I have some interesting things to look forward, to. This series was on so many years ago, most of it has been forgotten, so it's like watching it for the first time.
My Overall Impressions:
I enjoyed reading your story so much. I could picture the characters which made it more real to me. You have a fine understanding of the series. Your ability to bring it to life is amazing!
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
You did a great job of bringing the story to life. In fact, I'm watching one of the episodes as I type this.
Very enjoyable!
Until next time--write on!

I am reviewing this little item because it popped up on the random Read & Review.
Initial Thoughts:
I like it! It's fun to read and has a cool bounce to it line after line. It made me smile!
Further Thoughts:
Brilliant use of a phoolish word repeated throughout the poem. "wotsits” I find so much of your stuff to be uniquely designed for fun. It attracts great interest from this community from what I've observed. Thus this poem has the same effect.
Parting Thoughts:
Your poem is actually good advice. Don't let something overwhelm you or disturb your day ... like you, I'll grab it by its wotsit and push it outta my way!
Hello CheerFairy Dutchessbarbie.
I just stopped by to solve this interesting Word Search puzzle!
My Impressions:
Actually, I couldn't resist when I saw Itchy Water~fictionandverse's case highlighted in your introduction above the tile. It's hard to believe she's gone.
Further Thoughts:
It was a good size puzzle. 25 words needed to be uncovered. There were many longer words/phrases that were woven within the puzzle. I find those longer ones are easier to find for the most part.
I see the puzzle contained many things to do with Rising Stars and poetry. There were members names also included within the tile.
Your description mentions a port raid for Deanna. And also it was a thank you to her for donating a great package that supported some groups on WDC, in the "Invalid Item" I remember that Ice Cream Social in 2018. I'm sure I was a high bidder there and most likely donated a package.
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
I see this had a 3.5 star rating. I'm going to change that a little. I think it was quite an ambitious Word Search puzzle, and quite enjoying.
Good job!
Until next time--puzzle on!

Review!
I am reviewing your poem because it popped up on the random Read & Review.
Initial Impression:
Your title and brief description are catchy. It makes the reader want to find out what it's like when the world turned thirty.
I see by the genres posted it's inspirational and philosophical with Drama at the base. Good choices in regards to this poem.
Further Thoughts:
I loved how you styled each stanza into a shape. It works because as we grow and learn and age, we are shaping our life. It's a constant molding, like clay.
The verses were nicely rhymed and rhythmical to give it a lyrical quality.
I loved the refrain lines woven within the poetry. Beautiful job, there!
Parting Thoughts:
I wish there were some author's note mentioning the form of the poetry. I am more of a free verse person, thus when poetry takes form and follows certain syllabic count and line counts at intervals, I'd love to know its name if there is one.
However, I enjoyed the poem and its philosophical musings. It made for an interesting thought stimulant.
Hi AmyJo, I'm back for another Word Search Puzzle! You seem to have some interesting ones. In this one, I'm uncovering some scientific elements! Oh, goody!
My First Impression:
I thought this would be interesting to play. It's been a long time since I've had to memorize them for a science test. I thought it would be a great way to revisit those days to see how many I could actually picture on the Periodic table.
The tile consisted of 25 words to uncover. Many of the elements jumped right out at me. A few, I had to search a bit more. But I do love a challenge!
Further Thoughts:
I enjoy Word Searches that are not the usual run of the mill type, but rather, have a bit of educational fun woven in. This one does that handily.
I don't know if it was a certain contest prompt that brought on this puzzle, or, if you decided on your own that this is something that would be unique and enjoyable for a player. Either way, I had a good time uncovering those elements.
Conclusion:
Great Word Search that brought me back to school and science class.
Until next time--puzzle on!

My recent passion for playing Word Search puzzles brought me to your item.
My Opening Thoughts:
This was search based on the London Bridge. The bridge of course was located in London but now is located in a desert--Arizona to be clear. It crosses over Lake Havasu and enjoys a fine tourist attraction point of interest.
I've been there, myself -- in Arizona not in London. As I walked across it I thought about its history and also Jack the Ripper came to mind. But the amazing thing about the bridge is how it each stone was numbered and shipped to be put back together the same way it was when constructed in London.
Thus, My interest and having seen it first hand drew me into solving another London Bridge puzzle.
Further Thoughts:
The tile consisted of 20 words to uncover, of events coinciding with The London Bridge. I found the puzzle to be reasonably easy to solve, but there were sufficient words to uncover so that it wasn't a hit and run simple job to do.
Parting Thoughts:
I enjoyed solving your puzzle. It made my mind go directly t the fun times we had there with our children.
If I could suggest one thing, I'd say to use larger font in your description above the tile so that it stands out. But,hey, I'm just here for the fun--this was fun!

Review!
Initial Thoughts:
I found this on the Word Search page. I've been loving doing these puzzles.
Princess Bride ...this should be a fun Word Search. I've also found out through the brief description this is your favorite movie.
Further Thoughts:
Your puzzle tile consists of 23 words. It's quite a few words to uncover. So I called it my in-between chores puzzle. I loved starting the laundry and then running back to find more words. Then the dinner preparations -- and back to the puzzle. It sure helped me to get my chores done quicker since I wanted to get back to this puzzle!
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
This was indeed an enjoyable puzzle as that pretty ribbon on top states. Well deserved awardicon. Thoughtful Secret Santa, too.
I'm happy I found it and that I hadn't already done it!

Review!
First Impression:
I found the brief description to be a draw for the readers. We want to know how the cat cafe owner is going to save her business.
Further Thoughts:
Darlene believes catnip is behind all the success stories. I think that's what happened? She did visit other establishments and saw how busy they were. Suddenly cats got a bit "frisky" in the stores. I guess catnip is a draw for the cats and the owners let their sensitive noses choose the door to enter.
Poor Calico Cat once Binx got into the catnip when alone in the store. Binx gone wild!
Observations:
"but as ("she" should be inserted here.) talked warmly with the owner, the other cats were beginning to approach Darlene."
Furthermore: It seems to the reader that the conclusion is a bit rushed in wrapping up the story. I imagine running out of word count allowance is the reason.
Suggestion:
Try to trim down some of the middle part of the story a bit. Too many distractions with other cat establishments. Choose a couple, or just have Darlene do a walk-by and peeking in the window rather than entering the cafes and talking about other customers personalities.
Show the cafes reasons for success from a quick discovery of the cat's behavior, and bring the story back to Calico Cat. The reader wants to see customers and cats return to Darlene's establishment, and, to show how she "saved" her business -- with her gift baskets perhaps?
Parting Thoughts:
This is an interesting story about cat cafes. I love New Orleans as the location. I could imagine the streets, the shops and the jazz music in my head. I enjoyed my visits there when I lived in Texas.
I could imagine the cats going crazy after indulging in catnip sniffing.
Conclusion:
Great story concept. I love its uniqueness and the imagery it produces. I think this story is better suited to a short story sans the lower word count restriction. It's difficult, I know, words run out and a conclusion is needed quick! However, cutting out a lot of "filler" to get to the meat of the story will help that problem in the case of word count restriction contests.
Otherwise ...this was a fun read and great story idea!

Why am I here?
In my pursuit to find interesting Word Search Puzzles, I spotted yours.
Initial Thoughts:
Your title and brief description got my attention. I like how you draw a player in by making them curious over authors who were born in November.
General Thoughts:
Great opening line in the description: It's easy to think of some of our favorite authors as larger than life, but they all began their life just like us, with a birthday! So true.
The puzzle consists of 20 words to uncover on the tile. All pertain to authors born in November. It was a relatively medium level of difficulty. You have to be sure to find the word within a word already solved and shaded on the tile. Little things like that, that stir the brain a bit.
Parting Thoughts/Conclusion:
I found this Words Search to be enjoyable and relaxing after a day of tedious chores.

I saw the title "London Bridge" and decided to solve this puzzle.
Word Search Theme:
There are 11 words to uncover related to London Bridge. I have not been to London when it stood. However, I have been to the London Bridge at Lake Havasu, Arizona, when I was there. So I had an interest in revisiting the Bridge in my mind.
Further Thoughts:
As I uncovered the words, the song London Bridge Is Falling Down played in my head. Gee, thanks for that. It'll be stuck there all day. But to be honest the words "falling" and "down" as well as "London" and "Bridge" on the tile set me on the path to a brain worm of that tune. Not my fault.
Parting Thoughts:
The puzzle was a quick solve and fun to do. No sweating over Jack the Ripper being there those many years ago.
I found this brand, spanking new Word Search puzzle. How very cool you added another word search to your portfolio. I could almost feel you expected me to show up and tackle it.
Your Puzzle:
Consists of 21 words to uncover. These were words often used in times past. I remember hearing so many of them in my youth. They are fun and funny words to hear and say. I guess that's why they were so popular back then.
Parting Thoughts:
This was a blast from the past type of puzzle that was very entertaining. I enjoyed this Word Search very much.
Conclusion:
Great puzzle. Interesting theme. Enough words to make it a fun find.
I found this lovely tribute Word Search puzzle in memory of Rixfarmgirl. I've been enjoying many types of these puzzles lately. This one seemed very special and dear to you so I wanted to try my hand at it.
My General Thoughts:
The puzzle consisted of 25 words on the tile to uncover. I'd say it was a moderate level. I made it more difficult because I neglected to reduce the font size from where I had it on a previous page. It actually produced a puzzle with columns in the middle and random wrap around word endings. Yup, I did that odd thing on my own. I finally had to reduce the size quite a bit to be able to uncover the entire phrase of some of the longer words.
Observation:
I found a couple words couldn't be spelled out all the way. They ran out of tile space.
"Assistant Administo"(r)
"Spotlight on Charact (er)
I didn't rate down because I'm sure you can correct that problem easily by spelling it Assistant Admin. Abbreviate "administrator."
Also,"Spotlighting Character" might work within the tile with that many letters.
Parting Thoughts/ Suggestions:
You mention in the description above the puzzle that you'd appreciate those who work the puzzle perhaps leave a donation at New Horizon Class in memory of Rixfarmgirl . I think that if that forum or group is still active, you should include the link for the reviewer to find easily.
Conclusion:
I dropped by to play this wonderful Fall Romance Word Search. Hey, you've got the brilliant foliage of autumn leaves, and, romance. What else can anyone ask for in 16 words?
Further Thoughts:
This was a fun and relaxing puzzle that didn't torment my brain making it desperately search for a missing word that was right under my nose all the time.
I understand the tile changes each time it's reset, so it will have its own separate intensity if tried again.
Parting Thoughts:
You may have noticed I've become quite a fan of these puzzles. After doing busy work all day, I like to switch up the thought process with these puzzles. So, I figure, while I'm playing them and enjoying myself, I might as well give them a review.
Conclusion:
The tile consists of 25 words all related to types and things about cats. The introduction above the puzzle was attractive and grabs the player's attention.
You have quite a thorough list of words that educate people who are not familiar with different breeds and also the important health choices to make for a cat to keep down the stray population.
Further Thoughts:
I found the puzzle a fun search. Gosh there are many different colors and patterns to find. I could tell this was created by a true cat lover.
Parting Thoughts:
So realistic was this puzzle, my allergies almost kicked up! Yes, I am allergic. If I wasn't I think my favorite cat choice would be a Maine Coon cat. I've seen some that look like little lions!!!

What brought me here?
I've had a bit of an obsession with Word Searches, lately. I see this one was done during Kiya's Wonderland activity. Between this activity and "Game of Thrones" I've been finding plenty of these to play!
Further Thoughts:
I had a wonderful time at this tea time uncovering some delicious words. It was a good size puzzle with 25 words. It took a bit of time but not overly difficult. This one was a 10 minute solve, which is longer than some and not nearly as long as others.
Parting Thoughts:
The last word I uncovered even though all the words were crossed out, did not turn the tile to green. I checked and double checked, went over words within words, nothing! This happened to me in one other puzzle. I could understand if all the words weren't crossed out, but they were. I may have to give it another turn to see if the same thing happens. Ah, sweet mysteries of Word Search puzzles!

First Thoughts:
Your title caught my attention. I figured I can deal with finding monsters before they find me. As a WDC witch around these parts, that to me would be a simple task.
Further Thoughts:
Your puzzle consisted of 25 words to uncover. Sometimes more words make for an easier puzzle. Other times there are very sneaky words hidden within other words that must be discovered or it won't be solved. However I seemed to speed along here finding those hidden monsters. Amazingly, the first word I found was "angel." I guess that's because I run Angel-Witch Bingo during birthday week. It shows my softer side.
Parting Thoughts:
You had a great mix of words to uncover as well as a couple that crossover a word already solved. I've been getting used to those little hidden gems. I really enjoy finding them, now.

Review!
I've been on a search for Word Search puzzles recently, and came across yours.
My Initial Thoughts:
Love the title. Great play on words. It pulled me in because I really miss Angus around these parts. He was such a huge presence, here, there and everywhere on WDC.
Further Thoughts:
This was a fun puzzle to solve. I enjoyed uncovering the 16 words that are reminiscent of our friend in horror, Angus. Doing this Word Search felt like I was visiting him. It's tough to think he may never recover and come back here. He sure is missed.
Parting Thoughts:
Thanks for this birthday bash puzzle celebrating Angus. I found it to be a relaxing puzzle. It wasn't a difficult level, so there was no brain sweat.
Conclusion:
Good puzzle. Great theme.
Until next time--puzzle on!
