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 !

HISTORIQUE
XVIe s.— Elle pendit ceste medaille à son col avec les aultres babioles que femmes et filles y portent communement (CARLOIX VIII, 26)
ÉTYMOLOGIE
Ital. babbole. Sans doute d'une racine bab qui se trouve dans l'italien babbeo, babbano, imbécile ; dans le provençal baban, sot ; dans le latin babulus, nigaud ; dans l'anglais babe, babby, enfant ; island. babe, enfant, babiliur, jouet ; irl. et kymri, baban, enfant. Faut-il rattacher à ce même radical le vieux français baubelet, jouet, et l'anglais bawble, colifichet ? D'après de Caillières, babiole serait venu de la cour dans l'usage ordinaire ; mais on le trouve dès le XVIe siècle, où il est arrivé probablement de l'italien.
