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 !

Hugh McGregor Ross
Hugh McGregor Ross, 88 years of age when the photo was taken in January 2006, with a copy of the 1987 Draft Proposal for ISO/IEC 10646
Hugh McGregor Ross (born 31 August 1917 in Nairobi, British East Africa) is an early pioneer in the history of British computing.[1][2][3] He worked for Ferranti from the mid-1960s, where he worked on the Pegasus thermionic valve computer.[4] He was involved in the standardization of ASCII and ISO 646 and worked closely with Bob Bemer.[5] ASCII was first known in Europe as the Bemer-Ross Code.[6] He was also one of the three main designers of ISO 6937, with Peter Fenwick and Loek Zeckendorf. He was one of the principal architects of the Universal Character Set ISO/IEC 10646 when it was first conceived.
Hugh is an expert in the Gospel of Thomas and has written several books about it. He is a Quaker, and has also written about George Fox. His working papers on the teachings of Fox are held at Yorkshire Quaker Heritage Project.[7]
