			<description>I’ve been playing more word games recently, and it made me think about how useful these word games online (https://wordgamesonline.io/) can actually be beyond just entertainment. Games such as Wordle, crosswords, anagrams, and other word puzzles are simple to play, but they can provide several benefits.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I’ve been playing more word games recently, and it made me think about how useful these <a href="https://wordgamesonline.io/" target="_blank"><b>word games online</b></a> can actually be beyond just entertainment. Games such as Wordle, crosswords, anagrams, and other word puzzles are simple to play, but they can provide several benefits.<br />
<br />
One of the biggest benefits is improving vocabulary. When you play regularly, you encounter unfamiliar words and start paying more attention to spelling, meanings, and word patterns. This can be particularly useful for people who enjoy learning languages or want to improve their English.<br />
<br />
Word games can also help with memory and concentration. You often need to remember letters, previous guesses, clues, and possible combinations while working toward an answer. Even a short daily puzzle requires you to focus and think carefully.<br />
<br />
Another thing I like is the problem-solving aspect. Finding the correct word isn't always obvious, so you have to experiment with different possibilities and use logic to narrow down the choices. Getting an answer after several attempts can be surprisingly satisfying.<br />
<br />
Of course, word games are also a great way to relax. Unlike many games that require a large time commitment, a word puzzle can usually be completed in just a few minutes. You can play during a break, while having coffee, or simply when you want something to keep your mind occupied.<br />
<br />
For me, that combination of entertainment and mental exercise is what makes word games appealing. They may seem simple, but playing them regularly can be a fun way to keep your vocabulary, memory, and problem-solving skills active.<br />
<br />
What word games do you usually play, and do you feel that they have helped you in any way?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[This is beginning to drive me crazy: It used to be as easy as it should be with my old Photoshop 6 to edit the simple images after having them converted from *.tga to anything else and to reconvert them back to *.tga after my modifications. But helas! Trusty old Photoshop 6 no longer runs on the world-dominating OS. With current Photoshop Elements, Gimp and any other image editing software i'm now runnig into troubles without end: First of all they all tend to add an alpha-channel even if the original image had none, they change bit-depth of the encoding, add unvisible layers which I can only detect by giving the command to delete them and so on and so forth. This causes endless clicking back and forth to edit a small, simple image which I could edit in 2 minutes only a couple of years ago.<br />
<br />
And in one case I am completely clueless what may still be in the image (or being lacking from it) that causes this result: I​ created this Start Screen for MoT-Mod:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://filedata/fetch?id=9491393&amp;d=1787429727" target="_blank"><a href="filedata/fetch?id=9491393&amp;d=1787429727" class="bbcode-attachment"  ><img alt="Click image for larger version  Name:	upsg001.png Views:	1 Size:	218.1 KB ID:	9491393" title="upsg001.png" data-attachmentid="9491393" data-align="none" data-size="medium" border="0" src="filedata/fetch?id=9491393&amp;d=1787429727&amp;type=medium" data-fullsize-url="filedata/fetch?id=9491393&amp;d=1787429727" data-thumb-url="filedata/fetch?id=9491393&amp;d=1787429727&amp;type=thumb" data-title="Click on the image to see the original version" data-caption="upsg001.png" class="bbcode-attachment thumbnail js-lightbox bbcode-attachment--lightbox" /></a></a><br />
<br />
exported it as *.tga, RGB, 8-bit, w/o alpha-channel -- and the in-game result is the following:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://filedata/fetch?id=9491394&amp;d=1787429911" target="_blank"><a href="filedata/fetch?id=9491394&amp;d=1787429911" class="bbcode-attachment"  ><img alt="Click image for larger version  Name:	in-game-failure.png Views:	1 Size:	30.2 KB ID:	9491394" title="in-game-failure.png" data-attachmentid="9491394" data-align="none" data-size="medium" border="0" src="filedata/fetch?id=9491394&amp;d=1787429911&amp;type=medium" data-fullsize-url="filedata/fetch?id=9491394&amp;d=1787429911" data-thumb-url="filedata/fetch?id=9491394&amp;d=1787429911&amp;type=thumb" data-title="Click on the image to see the original version" data-caption="in-game-failure.png" class="bbcode-attachment thumbnail js-lightbox bbcode-attachment--lightbox" /></a></a><br />
<br />
If I add the darn alpha-channel the game just crashes.<br />
<br />
I would be extremely thankful if someone out there could give me a clue or hint on what is happening there.<br />
<br />
(An extremely helpful alternative would be an instruction on how to get Photoshop 6 running again on the &quot;cutting edge&quot;-W-OS ...)<br />
<br />
For forensic puposes I also attach the *.tga-file that gives the black surface and does not crash the game:<br />
