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 intraparietal sulcus (IPS) is located on the lateral surface of the parietal lobe, and consists of an oblique and a horizontal portion. The IPS contains a series of functionally distinct subregions that have been intensively investigated using both single cell neurophysiology in primates[1][2] and human functional neuroimaging.[3] Its principal functions are related to perceptual-motor coordination (for directing eye movements and reaching) and visual attention.
The IPS is also thought to play a role in other functions, including processing symbolic numerical information,[4] visuospatial working memory [5] and interpreting the intent of others.[6]

The IPS role in numerical cognition
Behavioral studies suggest that the IPS is associated with impairments of basic numerical magnitude processing and that there is a pattern of structural and functional alternations in the IPS and in the PFC in dyscalculia.[7] Children with developmental dyscalculia were found to have less gray matter in the left IPS.[8]
Other roles of the IPS
Five regions of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS): anterior, lateral, ventral, caudal, and medial
- LIP & VIP: involved in visual attention and saccadic eye movements
- VIP & MIP: visual control of reaching and pointing
- AIP: visual control of grasping and manipulating hand movements
- CIP: perception of depth from stereopsis
All of these areas have projections to the frontal lobe for executive control.
Activity in the intraparietal sulcus has also been associated with the learning of sequences of finger movements. (http://jn.physiology.org/content/88/4/2035.full)
