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 !

SUPPLÉMENT AU DICTIONNAIRE
SURHAUSSER. Ajoutez : - REM. On a dit surexhausser au lieu de surhausser, au sens de hausser une recette, une taxe, etc.— Il déclarait, au nom de la commission du budget qu'on pouvait sans inconvénient surexhausser le prix des dépêches [télégraphiques] (Journ. offic. 13 déc. 1872, p. 7743, 1re col.)— Vous ne pourrez pas constamment surexhausser tous les chapitres de votre budget des recettes (ib. 10 juil. 1876, p. 494, 3e col.) Cela n'est pas bon. On ne dit pas exhausser un prix, exhausser une recette, mais hausser un prix, une recette ; par conséquent on ne peut que les surhausser, non les surexhausser (voy. ci-dessus SUREXHAUSSER en un emploi plus correct).
