10 best Facebook apps and games

Bejeweled Blitz

Bejeweled Blitz players must match up identical gems in rows of three in order to score points and beat rivals on Facebook.

It’s a Facebook classic that boasts more than 5 million likes. Match up gems to get a high score in 60 seconds. Then compete with your Facebook friends for the top score. Simple, sure, but it’s a great way to ignore the person who’s Facebook chatting you nonstop. For those of you who don’t do well under pressure, Bejeweled 3 (which does not have a Facebook app) offers some calmer game modes, including Zen, which has no time limit. But until PopCap Games makes an app for Bejeweled 3, the sudden-death format of Bejeweled Blitz will do quite nicely.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
