What Is a Six Letter Word for Game

I am having trouble working with everything lately.  Not only haven't I figured out that contest I mentioned last time, but I am facing difficulties working with the computer again.  I am getting frustrated, so much.  Usually, I am good to great at figuring this type of thing out.  Today, not so much.  Everything I am trying to do on the computer seems to be flailing.  Nothing is going my way.  That is a problem I frequently get with puzzles sometimes.  I get an answer, but I don't know how I got there, so I have to go over my thought process again to make sure I did things correctly, and not just jump the gun.  Sometimes, I get a solution, but I don't know how I got there.  Did I solve it correctly?  I sometimes find different ways to get a solution, sometimes by going for the "meta" solution of that type of puzzle instead of the way the constructor intended.  I have been working a lot of different type of puzzles lately, many of which I don't usually do.  I fear I am getting too into the work and ignoring the actual working behind the puzzle itself.  My mind has taken enough for today, so I guess I finish off now.
