Time-waster
Funny Farm is a word-association puzzle, based on a semantic web. The number of letters in each unknown word is shown, along with its association to words you've successfully guessed. By getting words right you expand the semantic web to new regions (each of which has a theme.)

You can import another person's progress by pasting in their saved-game URL. Here's mine (but don't click unless you want to load my saved game.)

	so if i click on yours, will you see my answers or will i just be starting from that point on my own game? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If you click on my link, I think it will overwrite your game. But, if you click "save game" and copy/paste my link URL, it wll add my words to yours. The only way I can see your answers is by getting your saved game URL. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I haven't looked at it yet, but it sounds like awesome fun. The penultimate game. (I haven't figured out what the ultimate game is yet, so that is why this one gets ranked penultimate) -R (Reply to this)
