And each number represents a different letter, so you have to try and figure out what number all 26 letters goes with so you can create words & fill in the puzzle? What is it called and what sites can I play it for free? Thanks!

I'm not sure, but I believe you are describing an acrostic. You can solve acrostics for free at www.acrostics.org

I'm looking for some fun and creative games to play on horseback. I work as a counselor at a horse camp, and I'm hoping to set up some games for the campers to play. The campers are of all ages and experience levels, so I'm hoping to find easy games for the younger kids and some difficult or high-speed/high-intensity ones for the more advanced riders. Or just fun horse-related games in general!

some games that we play on horse back are:

-mustangs & cougars: this works best with bigger groups of riders. everyone pairs up in "islands" of two horses and their is one "mustang" and one "cougar". the cougar has to chase the mustang until they get close enough to "tag" them{usually within two feet}. when the cougar tags the mustang, they switch roles. after a few role trades, the current mustang trades off with someone who is part of an island. and, to keep the game fair, the cougar must slowly count to five in between every tag or switch.
- Duck, Duck, Goose: simple enough, have everyone pick a spot against the wall, or the outside of the arena if you will, and have the person who's it go around the inside. when they pick a goose, the goose chases them around the arena once, if the person gets passed, they continue their circle and park in the goose's spot as the goose then continues to pick their goose.
- Red Rover: have one person circling in between to sides of the arena, have one announcer say which horses to send across and again, the tagging space is about two feet. you can either have one designated "rover" for a certain amount of time, or you can trade off every time someone is tagged.
-Bi-wrangler boxes: have two boxes or barells set up at the end of the arena. have one horse at a time go down between the two boxes, around the left one, back through the middle, and then around the right one, and then proceeding home so the next rider can go
- Keyhole: set up boxes/barells/cones in the shape of a keyhole. the rider must go down into the keyhole, turn around inside without knocking anything down or stepping out of the hole, and then finishing the relay before their opponent.
-Clothes pins: WARNING! I RECCOMEND THAT YOU ONLY PLAY THIS GAME WITH VERY EXPERIANCED RIDERS ONLY!!! This is a fast-paced game that requires enough skill to maneuver tight turns without yanking on the horses. the tagging zone is also much closer. give every rider 5 clothes pins. have them attach them to what they can, their saddles, their clothes but NOT the horses' reins/headstalls. your goal is to end the game with the most pins. the tagging range for this game is about 6 inches to one foot, so again, EXPERIANCED riders only please. this is a very dangerous game if played incorrectly.

if you would like to hear of more games, because i have A LOT just shoot me an e-mail and i would be more than happy to share them with you. :] hailey_sweet13@yahoo.com

I need a crossword puzzle ASAP so if you could spit some websites out that will help me make or simulate a crossword puzzle please do so.
Thank you!

This site, below, provides grids to let you create your own crosswords. There are a variety of sizes - enjoy!

I want to sync a purchased game (monopoly) on my nano 3rd generation ipod without it getting rid of my other games. It says that in order to put the game on it has to get rid of other games already on there. But I have plenty of space available. What else will fix this problem?

Hey. My best answer will be to go the apple.com website and chat with one of the representatives there. They will help you out.

I think the problems is that ipod nanos don’t play games? It works on an ipod touch but I’m not sure with the nano. Hope this helps!

This is a special Christmas edition of Puzzle Bobble 2 that was released exclusively in Japan.

And despite some incredible incidents of misfiring, I still managed to conclude this bubble-blasting game with one miserable token.

Enjoy.

Mind Games - John Lennon

Happy 67th Birthday John !

We’re playing those mind games together,

Pushing barriers, planting seeds,
Playing the mind guerilla,
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth,

We all been playing mind games forever,

Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil.
Doing the mind guerilla,
Some call it the search for the grail,
Love is the answer and you know that for sure,
Love is flower you got to let it, you got to let it grow,

So keep on playing those mind games together,

Faith in the future outta the now,
You just can’t beat on those mind guerillas,
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind,

Yeah we’re playing those mind games forever,

Projecting our images in space and in time,
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure,
Yes is the surrender you got to let it, you got to let it go,

So keep on playing those mind games together,

Doing the ritual dance inn the sun,
Millions of mind guerrillas,
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel,

Keep on playing those mind games forever,

Raising the spirit of peace and love, not war,
(I want you to make love, not war, I know you’ve heard it before)

I'm thinking of something like a paper folding puzzle, and the only way to see the message inside is to figure out a way to open the puzzle. How can I do this at home?
The jigsaw idea is clever. Thanks much!

If you can't come up with a real paper folding puzzle, you can fake it pretty easily. "Wrap" the card in several envelopes or layers of paper. One buttons shut, another is taped or tied, another has tabs that must be pulled out to get to the next layer, etc. Have a blast designing this. It had better be a darned nice birthday card, of course — or have a gift card in it, too — once the recipient gets through all the layers. If it's a hit, someone will make one for you, too, so watch out!

This is also a good idea for wrapping a small gift.

Im talking about either final fantasy 3 types/final fantasy 3ds types. Now I know ff4 is coming out in acouple of weeks but besides that, what are some other games similar to ff or old lunar type games. (i know lunar dragon song, but besides that) and not Pokemon/Digimon type games either even though technically they are similar but not those.

I would suggest Final Fantasy XII: Reventant Wings. It combines the rpg element of Final Fantasy and puts it into an RTS style of gameplay. Also Square Enix came out with a new game called World Ends With You, haven;t tried it yet but it looks promising.
