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 !

PHILISTIN (s. m.)
1. Nom d'un peuple qui occupait une grande partie de la terre promise, lors de l'arrivée des Israélites.
Fig. Il va faire la guerre aux Philistins (par allusion à la mâchoire d'âne dont Samson s'arma contre les Philistins), il se tient la mâchoire, il tient sa mâchoire appuyée sur sa main ; c'est une manière de dire à quelqu'un qu'il est un âne.
2. Fig. Se dit, parmi les étudiants allemands, de toutes les personnes étrangères aux universités, et particulièrement des marchands (avec un p minuscule).
• Vous n'êtes, ne fûtes et ne serez jamais que ce que les étudiants allemands appellent un philistin, et les artistes français un bourgeois (TH. GAUTIER dans Revue des Deux-Mondes, t. XIX, p. 889, 1847)
• À propos, qu'est-ce qu'un philistin ? autrefois, en Grèce, il s'appelait béotien ; on le nomme cockney en Angleterre, épicier ou Joseph Prud'homme à Paris, et les étudiants d'Allemagne lui ont conféré l'appellation de philistin (L. DE NEUVILLE dans Excentricités du langage.)
