Slow Reader

N ever heard of competitive search-a-word?  Me neither.  Until today.  My sister-in-law--visiting from Colorado Springs--severely and thoroughly kicked my ass at the competitive search-a-word.  Get set.  Go.

She aced her puzzle in 3 minutes, 35 seconds.  Me with mine: 9 minutes, 22 seconds.  Pummeled me at the word search.  But I'm not so much disappointed as awe-filled (close to aw-ful).  Twenty-one words in just over three minutes is the sort of computer-like pattern-finding that proves a supremely trained eye (with a pinch o' luck).

In case you're in the mood for practicing, here's a search-a-word from the most common search terms at Earth Wide Moth in June. Yeah...enjoy?
