The internet is great but, great sites are few and far between. What are some of the best sites that others may not know about? I really love to play Scrabble, so when someone told me about [PLAY SITE](http://www.playsite.com) , it felt like getting a really good deal on a great pair of shoes. ---

[Loop](http://www.shockwave.com/sw/content/loop) One of many great games at [atomfilms.com](http://atomfilms.com). How about this game of [dots](http://www.well.com/user/argv/java/dots.html)? Or this version of [Paint by Number](http://mrl.nyu.edu/~hertzman/dots/). Sadly they don’t make pictures, just abstract patterns. ☹ [Movie Mistakes](http://www.movie-mistakes.com/) is one of several movie sites I visit regularly along with [Coming Attractions](http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/mainFramed.html) and [The Movie Spoiler](http://www.themoviespoiler.com/index.html). ---

In the past, I’ve tried to register to post on [Unsolved Mysteries](http://www.unsolvedmysteries.com/) but, it never works. Another good site for board games is [Flip Side](http://www.flipside.com) . WordOx is a lot of fun. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-of-the-web/106086.md?page=2)
