Very interesting and very obsessed Nicole and Michelle!! I think that Spelling Bee and what may appear as being the acquisition of or recalling random vocabulary is vitamins for your imagination and writing craft, much like random images appearing in dreams. I am sure that the images that are conjured up in your mind as you are searching for words will eventually return in a piece of writing.
On puzzles: have you seen the detective series "Astrid and Raphaelle"? Astrid loves to solve all sorts of puzzles and oftentimes, she will apply her strategies to the murder cases. Not only does she solve disentanglement or mechanical puzzles during the show, she also explains the origin and the history of the puzzles. I find that very interesting.
Thank you for your comment, Brigitte! I think you're right, recalling vocabulary does feed the imagination. I bet it helps create new neural pathways, which I'm sure helps with creativity! I haven't seen the TV show you are referring to, but it does indeed sound interesting! It's fascinating how screenwriters manage to include details like that in scripts. The writers' room for Astrid and Raphaëlle must like solving puzzles too! :)
