Spelion is a word spelling puzzle.

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:

    The word list now is configurable.

    By editing the WORD_LIST line in $HOME/.config/spelion/spelion.config, the user can play the game using another word list.
