I don't think doing word searches would apply since there's no creation involved. Nothing new or unique comes out of the process. In addition, I think there is a difference between enjoying something and being emotionally tied or passionate about it. I've seen almost religious debate about painting, writing, and programming (most of all in programming)...but word searching? I just don't feel like it has the same emotional buy-in as the others. But this is obviously a judgment on my part. Thanks for your comment, Rob Good point, Lee. I don’t think doing word searches would apply since there’s no creation involved.

Maybe if you circle the words in different colors? ;-) Does that mean that doing word searches is an art as long as you enjoy it and don’t make money off of it?
