Wordsearch...

Bit of advertising on behalf of one of my housemates here...

My friend's developed a wordsearch program which randomly generates a wordsearch based around one of (currently) two dictionaries, in one of five sizes of grid which is online and free to download. There's personal high score boards, a global high score board (which is quite hard to get onto, since Laura's done a considerable amount of testing so has got pretty good at it), and the ability to write your own dictionary (according to certain restrictions...) Laura's keen to have more players and dictionaries for it, so she even asked me to ask anyone interested to write a dictionary "based on whatever the forum's about". So if that doesn't interest you, what will?

The timer throws me off. I start looking at it instead of at the puzzle! Aah, the pressure! But happily the boss is out today so I'll have lots of time to practice.

Could do with stopping playing that and doing my tea.

Good game.

Needs some fish puns, but otherwise brilliant!
