If you like crossword puzzles, you'll probably have a lot of fun with Mega Flexicon, which combines multiple crossword puzzles with a race against the clock to solve clues. The game's primary mode challenges you to solve as many puzzles as you can before time runs out and awards you bonus points for answering in a particular order. Correctly guessing part of the crossword resets the counter, and if you get stuck, you have a few shots at automatically solving some of the words.
Clues range from very simple to very hard, but the nature of crossword puzzles is such that you should be able to sort out even the tough ones using the process of elimination. Actually, one of the game's flaws is that when you're down to just one letter remaining to solve a clue, it's easy to just jam on every letter on the keyboard till the right one sticks. Mega Flexicon is easy to control using the keyboard or mouse, and its puzzles do a fine job of testing your knowledge of trivia--not to mention spelling. The game's got a pretty nice presentation, to boot.
