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 !

Early life
His father was of Polish birth. Dreja was born in Surbiton, and raised in Kingston upon Thames.[1] His brother Stefan Dreja chanced to meet Top Topham, and introduced Topham to his brother.[1] Topham and Dreja were influenced by folk/blues guitarist Gerry Lochran; he influenced them to switch from acoustic to electric guitars according to Greg Russo in his book The Yardbirds: The Ultimate Rave-Up. They made their debut with electric guitars at a concert with Duster Bennett and a young Jimmy Page.[1]
The Yardbirds
Dreja and Topham became core members of the Metropolitan (or Metropolis) Blues Quartet. During the space of a year Keith Relf, Jim McCarty, and Paul Samwell-Smith joined the group which became the Yardbirds. The 15 year old Topham left the group when the band went professional but Dreja continued on to play rhythm guitar with musicians such as Eric Clapton and later Jeff Beck.[1]
Dreja changed from rhythm to bass guitar following the departure of the original bassist. Dreja co-authored many Yardbirds group compositions especially those on the album Roger the Engineer).[1]
After the group broke up, Page offered Dreja the position of bassist in a new band he was forming (later to become Led Zeppelin).[citation needed] Dreja declined in order to pursue a profession in photography. He photographed Led Zeppelin for the back cover of their debut album.[1]
Dreja played in the Yardbirds spin-off band Box of Frogs in the 1980s, and has been part of the Yardbirds' reformation since 1992.
In 2002, The Yardbirds re-emerged and a new album, Birdland was released.[1]
