Wordscapes, which is available for iOS and Android, is kind of like a word search-crossword puzzle hybrid.
Plus, the game isn't timed, which means it's super low-stress.
Still, it feels great to complete a puzzle — similar to the thrill of completing a New York Times mini crossword — and you can feel that feeling as many times in a row as you want.
It's simultaneously rewarding and low-stakes.
This doesn't always involve a lot of talking (sometimes we just say "it was [the answer]? oh") but when we figure out a word together it's a nice moment nonetheless.
I know I shouldn't feel pressured to write King Lear or organize my entire apartment, but what if I just want to feel like I'm doing something, exercising just a tiny crumb of my brain.
