Product Review: OPPO A16- The Smart Choice

     It has been ages since I last reviewed a smartphone and in time for the holiday season (checks gift list), I can say that this phone from OPPO's A series line fits the bill if you are planning to buy a gift for your techie friends or loved ones.

Play Online Games for FREE at Solitaire.Org

     When was the last time you played something online? I'm a self-confessed gamer and I grew up playing different kinds of online games. The ones I'm playing before were fighting and strategy games and require an account or payment for you to enjoy the game. I guess I outgrew my interest in those and because of the uncertainties over the past two years, it's time for me to play games that will be beneficial for my mind and mental health.

     I was searching for online games months ago and I'm glad that I discovered solitaire.org- a website offering free online games like word puzzles, hidden objects, and logic games to name a few. Solitaire games offer other collections of games across a number of categories shown in the sitewide navigation. I was delighted to see a lot of online games that don't require signing up or downloading the game itself. My eyes got glued to a letter scramble, word search, and tetra blocks. So without further ado, here's my review of the games that I got addicted to playing at Solitaire.Org.
