Quiddler is a card game that more or less is a form of Scrabble played with cards. It is a great game that can be played by family and friends. It is fast paced.

You might be wondering why I have the game up here.
Simple. This could be an interesting game that Alzheimer's caregivers and patients can play together. You don't have to follow the rules. You can use the cards and make up your own rules.
Here is an example. You lay out some cards. Lets assume you pick the two letters "S and C". Next you say to the person with Alzheimer's lets think of some words that start with the letters SC.
Or, you could have a dictionary nearby and say, lets look up some words that start with S and C. As you look up the words you can have the person read the definition. You can then discuss the word.
