Puzzle Master Terry Stickels Presents 2009 FRAME GAMES Calendar - Puzzles that are Both Fun and Good for the Mind

America's leading puzzle creator releases a 2009 Page-A-Day® boxed calendar, filled with the popular FRAME GAMES™ word puzzles that are fun and a great form of mental exercise; available now.

Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB) November 20, 2008 -- FRAME GAMES™, America's most popular puzzles and a fun form of mental exercise, are now available in a Page-A-Day® calendar for 2009.

FRAME GAMES™ puzzles are now in great demand for both fun and keeping mentally fit.

The FRAME GAMES™ puzzles have grown in popularity yearly since they first appeared in print in 1991.

With the recent findings of neuroscientists that solving puzzles and playing games actually increases mental flexibility, author and puzzle creator Terry Stickels says, "FRAME GAMES™ puzzles are now in great demand for both fun and keeping mentally fit."

Stickels says the national Alzheimer's Association has adopted the puzzles as its "puzzle of choice" for dissemination in its local chapters.

FRAME GAMES™ are clever word puzzles contained within small picture frames. An example would be: HIS PANTS. (The solution: "Ants in his pants.")

Since 2000, the puzzles have been a regular feature in USA WEEKEND magazine, which is carried by more than 600 newspapers with an estimated readership of 48 million people.

Stickels' four FRAME GAMES™ books and previous calendars have sold more than 300,000 copies to date and remain strong sellers. His most recent effort, the 2009 FRAME GAMES™ boxed calendar, is available through USA WEEKEND magazine (www.usaweekend.com or 1-800-344-3872).

A native of Omaha, Neb., Stickels has authored or co-authored 28 books, card decks, bookmarks and calendars of puzzles. His STICKELERS puzzle column is syndicated daily by King Features and appears in many of the largest newspapers in the U.S. and Canada. His popular Web site, www.TerryStickels.com, offers a sampling of his puzzles for the curious.
