https://gitlab.com/christosangel/spelion
Using just the given 7 letters, you are called to
form as many words as possible.
Rules
- The word that you form must include the center letter.
- You don't have to use all the other letters.
- Minimum length of the word that you create is four letters.
- Any given letters can be used more than one time in a word.
- The word list is contained in
/usr/share/dict/words
,
minus words with upper-case letters, words with apostrophe and words containing letters with accent marks.
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.
Update: Another feature has been added to the script,
lolcat
helps show the Highscores in color, and therefore more fun.The user can configure whether the highscores are shown in color or not.
This is done again by editing the value
HISCORE_COLOR
(yes / no) in$HOME/.config/spelion/spelion.config
