From an article by Alison Biggar in Aging Today: “Every week, Merl Reagle creates crossword puzzles that are syndicated in 50 newspapers across the country. Known for his wit, facility with word patterns and for starring in the crossword puzzle movie Wordplay, Reagle has now used his talents to design a National Brain Game Challenge for the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA).” Merl and his wife were caregivers for Merl’s mother who 
had Alzheimer’s disease. The experience resulted in Merl working with AFA to create a game that would raise awareness about the disease as well as provide the kind of mental stimulation that can help ward it off. Get more details here about the online Brain Game Challenge which begins September 25, 2011.
