Looking for a distraction?

[Hop_Scotch 1,615]

You know you are not physically hungry - you haven't long since had a meal or a snack; or maybe looking to emotionally eat. Nothing like a distraction that occupies the hands and mind.

You probably heard of wordle and perhaps already play it, there are some other word and number games that may help distract, some allowing more than one game a day. Some I like and some not so much (numbers/music game), thought I would share here for anyone else looking for a distraction.

My two favourite words to start of the word games are heart and pious, sometimes I use clean, cheat instead of heart, adieu is a good one as it covers most of the vowels.

Hope you enjoy the word games as much as I do. I have also added the number and music game plus the country game to the list. If I have missed anything you've been enjoying please add to the thread

I watch streamers on twitch play wordle sometimes. Never played it myself. I just play my nintendo switch or my PC games lol. My mom is addicted to games on her phone.

I play games too. Usually word games but sometimes sudoku, solitaire, or those mindless moving object games. I have Wordle but didn’t enjoy it. Maybe I need to persevere to get to higher stages or something.

thanks! I'm totally addicted to wordle - and quordle. Some of the other ones you have on here look really fun, too!

I play games too. I play PC and Nintendo Switch games a lot, as well as puzzle games like Wordle and Sudoku and others. Games have actually become my new way of coping with stress and keeping me away from those comfort food cravings that used to have way too much control over me. Having the surgery right before getting into nursing school has been rough with the stress stuff. But, the mind is changing for sure!

Have you ever played Solitaire Mahjong? That's another game that is so fun and just relaxing.

Sudoku is another favourite of mine too. I don't do too well on the hard level though.

Thanks for the links. I am never hungry but I eat when I'm bored.

For me Gardescapes or Homescapes are the best distraction games

I go for a little walk when I need a distraction, or scroll Tik Tok

I usually play games when I'm bored. Sometimes it happens that a lot of problems fall on me and I just want to get away from them. Great help to solve all these problems with computer games that I often download on www.unlockedpiratebay.com/ Performing tasks invented by programmers, a person is distracted from the troubles that have fallen on him, and he rests physically and mentally.
