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 !

The Drepanidae is a family of moths with about 660 species described worldwide.[1] They are generally divided in three subfamilies (Minet and Scoble, 1999) which share the same type of hearing organ. Thyatirinae, previously often placed in their own family, bear a superficial resemblance to Noctuidae. Many species in the Drepanid family have a distinctively hook-shaped apex to the forewing, leading to their common name of hook-tips.
The larvae of many species are very distinctive, tapering to a point at the tail and usually resting with both head and tail raised. They usually feed on the leaves of trees and shrubs, pupating between leaves spun together with silk.
15 species are resident in the UK:
- Scalloped Hook-tip (Falcaria lacertinaria)
- Oak Hook-tip (Drepana binaria)
- Barred Hook-tip (Watsonalla cultraria)
- Pebble Hook-tip (Drepana falcataria)
- Scarce Hook-tip (Sabra harpagula)
- Chinese Character (Cilix glaucata)
- Peach Blossom (Thyatira batis)
- Buff Arches (Habrosyne pyritoides)
- Figure of Eighty (Tethea ocularis)
- Poplar Lutestring (Tethea or)
- Satin Lutestring (Tetheella fluctuosa)
- Common Lutestring (Ochropacha duplaris)
- Oak Lutestring (Cymatophorima diluta)
- Yellow Horned (Achlya flavicornis)
- Frosted Green (Polyploca ridens)
