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 !

COURTE-POINTE (s. f.)
Couverture de lit pour la parade.
• On faisait son lit [de la maréchale de Noailles] et il n'y avait plus que la courte-pointe à y mettre (SAINT-SIMON 225, 17)
Au plur. Des courtes-pointes.
HISTORIQUE
XIIIe s.— De floretes lor estendoient Les couste pointes, qui rendoient Tel resplendor par ces herbaiges.... (la Rose, 8462)— Sor couches et sor dras de lis Ont mis tapis et kieutes pointes (l'Escoufle)— Encore i faut-il coutepointes, Sarges, oreillers biaus et cointes, Pour lit couvrir (Choses qui faillent en menage)
XIVe s.— Jehanne Dupont, après ce qu'elle ot une fois esté mise en la gehyne en la couste pointe [sorte de torture] seulement.... (DU CANGE coustepointarius.)
XVe s.— Entrementes que Philippe [d'Artevelle] dormoit sur une coutepointe delez le feu de charbon en son pavillon (FROISS. II, II, 192)
ÉTYMOLOGIE
Génev. contre-pointe. Il n'y a là dans ce mot ni courte ni pointe. Courte-pointe est une fausse prononciation pour coulte-pointe ou coutepointe, c'est-à-dire une coute pointe, une coute piquée, du latin culcita puncta (voy. COUETTE et POINDRE).
