### Hello to all our gamers out in Smart Senior Land!

Some of you may have noticed that we've been revamping things a bit, and we wanted to update you on what's what.

## More DAILY Puzzles

**Emphasis on "daily" – Crosswords, Word Up, Word Search, Word Flower, and Sudoku *fresh every day* of the week.**

Here's an example of what you'll see when you click on a puzzle: the last 30 days worth of games/puzzles, plus an indicator as to how much you've played of one in case you want to come back and play more.

Note: the opening screen may say "1 game," but it means it's "1" as "one collection" 

## Crosswords

**There are now two versions of Crosswords**: **a mini and a large.** Plus, our archive of 200+ crosswords is still there for you to play.
