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

Lynkestis
- "Lyncestis" redirects here. For the noctuoid moth genus, see Melipotis.
Lynkestis or Lynchestia (Greek: Λυγκηστίς, Λυγκηστία meaning "land of the lynx") was a region (in earlier times, a kingdom) of Upper Macedonia on the southern borders of Illyria which was ruled by kings, lords and independent or semi-independent chieftains till the later Argead rulers of Macedon (Amyntas IV, Philip II) neutralized their independence with dynastic alliances and the practice of bringing up tribal chieftains' sons in the palaces of Philip. To the north of Lynchestia was the region of Deuriopus, while Paionia was to the north-east, Pelagonia bordered on the east, Emathia and Almopia to the south-east, and Orestia, Eordaia and the Haliacmon river at some distance to the south.[citation needed]
The rich and turbulent[1] kings of Lyncestis traced their origins to the Bacchiad kings that were expelled from Corinth in the seventh century. During the Peloponnesian war Arrhabaeus the king of Lyncestis waged war against Perdiccas II of Macedon.
The tribes of Lynkestis were known as Lynkestai (Λυγκησταί). Strabo says that Irra was the daughter of Arrhabaeus, and that his granddaughter was Eurydice, the mother of Philip II.[2]
The Lynkestai were a Northwestern Greek tribe and belonged to the Molossian group of the Epirotes.[3][4]
