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 !

RODOMONTADE (s. f.)
Parole, langage de rodomont.
• Entre toutes ces rodomontades et autres que chacun inventait pour plaire à cet homme [Xerxès marchant contre la Grèce] (MALH. le Traité des bienf. de Sénèque, VI, 31)
• Elle [une favorite] répondit avec une fierté digne de sa nation [espagnole] et du pays d'où nous sont venues les rodomontades.... (BALZ. De la cour, 7e disc.)
• Il faut l'avouer, la philosophie est bien fanfaronne ; ses armes sont plus dures et plus luisantes qu'elles ne sont fortes ; tous ces grands mots de Sénèque ne sont que des rodomontades d'un Espagnol qui était longtemps avant Rodomont (COSTAR t. I, Lett. 84, dans RICHELET)
• Le roi [Louis XI], qui n'employait jamais de rodomontades, et qui les craignait encore moins (DUCLOS Oeuv. t. III, p. 46)
HISTORIQUE
XVIe s.— Rodemontade (COTGRAVE)— Rotomontade (MONET Dict.)— J'accuse, aux querelles, ceulx qui bravent et se mutinent sans partie ; il faut garder ces rodomontades où elles portent (MONT. III, 146)— Les rodomontades espaignolles, certes elles surpassent toutes les autres, de quelque nation que ce soit ; d'autant qu'il faut confesser la nation espaignolle.... fort prompte d'esprit et de belles paroles prononcées à l'improviste (BRANT. Discours d'aucunes rodomontades.)
ÉTYMOLOGIE
Rodomont.
