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 !

Fig.
• Vous ne savez pas les difficultés de l'état austère que vous embrassez ; il faut avoir un coeur bien frugal pour le soutenir, c'est une espèce de solitaire qu'une fille (MARIVAUX Serments indisc. I, 2)
REMARQUE
Le pluriel frugaux n'est pas usité. Cependant il faut approuver Legoarant qui écrit : " Je ne vois aucune raison pour ne pas dire des repas frugaux, des hommes frugaux. " C'est en effet une lacune regrettable que l'absence de ce pluriel ; et frugaux n'a rien qui doive choquer.
SYNONYME
FRUGAL, SOBRE. L'homme frugal se nourrit de mets simples ; l'homme sobre ne mange que ce qui est nécessaire à ses besoins ; on peut être sobre à une table somptueuse. Frugal a rapport à la qualité des mets, sobre à la quantité.
HISTORIQUE
XVIe s.— Frugal (OUDIN Dict.)
ÉTYMOLOGIE
Lat. frugalis, de frux, fruit, moisson : qui est propre aux moissons, qui vit des fruits de la terre et, de là, frugal.
