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 !

• Tout le monde sait que l'outarde est, parmi les oiseaux d'Europe, celui qui a le plus de rapport avec l'autruche, et que la canepetière n'est qu'une petite outarde (BUFF. Ois. t. II, p. 238)
HISTORIQUE
XVe s.— Sur les petiz [il] fist la restrinction [économie] Qui monte à pou ; vez ci large ignorance : Es grans cas chiet [tombe] la bonne pourvoiance ; Plus despent loup que brebis ne oustarde (E. DESCH. Administration de l'hôtel du prince.)— Mignons, laissez chevaulx et bardes, Vos grands bastons, vos becs d'oustarde (COQUILL. Les droits nouveaux.)— Le suppliant aperçut des oultardes, esquelles il se adressa pour y tirer (DU CANGE cavalcare.)
XVIe s.— Puis les poules d'eau, le heron, l'otarde (O. DE SERRES 345)
ÉTYMOLOGIE
Prov. austarda ; espagn. avutarda ; port. abetarda, betarda ; ital. ottarda ; du lat. avis, oiseau, et tarda, lent. Avis tarda était, dit Pline, le nom donné par les Espagnols à l'outarde. Dans le provençal et le français, la syllabe aus, ous, représente le nominatif avis. On ne peut donc songer à otis.
