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.

Description
Skull
Horns of a rhim gazelle (below) and dorcas gazelle (above)
The palest of the gazelles, this animal has adapted to desert life in many ways. Their pale coat reflects the sun's rays instead of absorbing them, and their hooves are slightly enlarged to help them walk on the sand, although occasionally they occupy stony regions. The horns on the male are slender and slightly S-shaped; those of the female are even thinner, lighter and less curved.
Habitat
The rhim or rheem gazelle is found in isolated pockets across the central Sahara Desert (Kingdom 1997[full citation needed], Spinage 1986[full citation needed]). The extreme heat of this environment limits their feeding to the early morning and evening, and G. leptoceros gains most of its water requirements from dew and plant moisture, relying little on open water sources.
The rhim gazelle is a nomadic species moving across its desert range in search of vegetation, though it does not have a set migratory pattern (East 1997[full citation needed], Kingdom 1997).
Endangered by the early 1970's, this species of gazelle was in serious decline. They were hunted firstly by mounted then by motorized hunters for sport, meat or their horns, which were sold as ornaments in North African markets.
Rhim gazelle in philately
On February 1, 1987, the Libyan General Posts and Telecommunications Company (GPTC), in cooperation with World Wide Fund for Nature, issued a set of four postage stamps illustrating Gazella leptoceros.[2]
