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 !

REMARQUE
L'usage, au XVIIe siècle, avait tellement confondu recouvert et recouvré que Ménage admettait qu'on pouvait se servir indifféremment de l'un ou de l'autre avec le sens de recouvré ; et Bouhours dit : " Recouvrir ne se met jamais pour recouvrer, quoique recouvert se mette souvent pour recouvré. " Heureusement le bon usage a fini par remédier à un pareil abus, et aujourd'hui il n'est plus permis de confondre recouvert et recouvré.
HISTORIQUE
XIIIe s.— Il la recuevrent chaut et de gris et d'ermin (Berte, LV)
XVIe s.— Quand l'un d'entre eulx [éléphants] se treuve prins dans certaines fosses qu'on leur prepare, et les recouvre l'on de menues brossailles pour les tromper.... (MONT. II, 176)
ÉTYMOLOGIE
Re..., et couvrir ; wallon, rikovri, rakovri ; prov. recobrir ; anc. cat. ricobrir ; ital. ricoprire.
