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.

The Vira Nirvana Samvat (era) originated on 15 October 527 BCE. It commemorates the nirvana Mahavira, the 24th Jain Tirthankara.
Usage
The Jain year Vira Nirvana Samvat is obtained by adding 470 years to the Kartikadi Vikram. The Vira Nirvana Samvat 2532 started right after Diwali of 2005.
The Jain year starts with Diwali. So, Vira Nirvana Samvat 2534 starts with Diwali 2007. The Jain business people traditionally started their accounting year from Diwali. The relationship between the Vir and Shaka era is given in Titthogali Painnaya and Dhavalaa by Acharya Virasena:
पंच य मासा पंच य वास छच्चेव होन्ति वाससया|
परिणिव्वुअस्स अरिहितो तो उप्पन्नो सगो राया||
Thus the Nirvana occurred 605 years and 5 months before the Saka era.
On 21 October 1974 the 2500th Nirvana Mahotsava was celebrated by the Jains throughout India.[1]
