Name
The name SPELION was just a made up word with letters that could form
the root spel(l), while at the same time these letters could appear
in a (recursive) Spelion puzzle.
The name stuck when I found out that by pure chance Spelion was also
an anagram of the greek letter epsilon.
A couple of interesting features:
~/.config/spelion/spelion.config
file. That means that the puzzle can have e.g. between 10 and 30 solutions, or between 50 and 100 etc.W option
the user can browse the list of all possible solutions to the puzzle.Thank you for your feedback, any other suggestion/correction/input is most welcome.
