Lettris
Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
boggle
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

Boiled wool
Boiled wool is a special type of fabric primarily used in berets, scarves, vests, cardigans, coats and jackets. It is created using a mechanical knitting process which involves a set pattern that is then shrunk. It can also be a woven fabric which is shrunk, compressing the fibres together.

Origins
Wool felt and felted wool are similar to boiled wool, all of these processes date back to at least the Middle Ages. The word felt itself comes from West Germanic feltaz.[1]
Process
Wool felt can be created commercially and results in uniform fabric thickness. This dense wool is created by first weaving wool to create an item then washing it, resulting in a solid, dense fabric that is about 30% smaller than the original woven material. This process is called "fulling", as opposed to felting, which is a non-woven fabric. Boiled wool is produced industrially and is characteristically found in Tyrolean textiles of Austria and of South America.
Very large woven sheets of wool fabric are first either dyed or not, with a design on them. These are boiled and shrunk without using any chemicals. Because of this and other factors, boiled wool is a tight knit fabric, very warm, windproof and usually does not itch.
