Race against time to create as many words as possible from a grid of letters. A dictionary checks words as you input on the keypad. Compare words against others in a multiplayer game over the internet. You can adjust the grid size, the game length and number of rounds. This game is a real challenge. It is designed for people that love puzzles, and love a challenge. Adults will lose themselves for hours. It's also a great learning tool for kids.

This simple site features a 10-question quiz randomly drawn from an extensive database of etymology (word origin) and related topics. It's tough, but it's highly entertaining and quite compelling! After each game, players also have the opportunity to submit their own questions, if desired.
