Hello everyone, I'm Lucy and welcome to another episode of All Things Lady A for the Unmute Presents podcast series. I hope you all had a great month and that you're ready to have some fun today. So sorry about my voice. I've been a little under the weather and also I'm having a few technical difficulties today. But anybody who knows me well knows that I love to play games. And by the way, I have a call on the ACB community platform called Games to Play with youh Lady A, which happen on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 2pm Eastern time. So I thought we would have some fun and play some word games today. So let me just say a couple of things. First, I want to caution you that many of the games and skills on Lady A are not kept up to date by the developers, so they no longer work. That has happened to me with a lot of the games I have really gotten fond of, and then one day I go to play them and they're no longer able to be accessed. So with the updates of the platform, some of the developers don't keep up with it. Now, one more thing before we start playing is that most of the games available will let you play up to a certain level, and then you must pay a subscription fee. So they will offer you a free trial. Sometimes it's three days, sometimes it's seven days. But if you have an Amazon account, they will charge you if you don't remember to cancel after the trial period is over. So I play a lot of games and I would go broke if I subscribe to all that I play. So I do have a few subscriptions of the ones that I play the most, but not, not very many. Okay, so the first one we'll do is called Word Reverse Game and she will give you the letters of a word backwards and you tell her what the word is. All right, let's see if we can do this here. Amazon Open Word Reverse Game.

So I don't know yet what I'll be doing for next time, but I am sure I will think of something. So in the meantime, everybody have fun with your lady A devices.
