The aim is to score points by creating words, moving around in six directions in the grid, using consecutive letters.

When the user created longer words, coloured letters appear. The user can score more points by using these coloured letters.

More points can also be scored, when the user manages to create the bonus words.

When smaller words are created, or low point yielding words, red letters appear in the grid. If not used, these red letters will drop one cell in every turn.

When a red letter reaches beyond the bottom of the grid, the game is over.

The user can also reshuffle the letters in the grid, in order to be able to create words. However, there is a price to this action: the existing red letters will drop one cell, all other bonus coloured letters will be lost, and more red letters will appear.

If the score is among the 10 best scores achieved, it makes it in the Top Ten Highscores.

deshuffle is a terminal word puzzle game, written in Bash.

The simple aim is to put all the given letters in order to find the shuffled word against the clock. The time available after a number of words also reduces, so the game gets harder as it goes.

There is not only one solution to every puzzle. If the user find a word with the same letters, the solution will be accepted.

By default, the adjusted definitions of the words appear in the end of each round.

The game ends when the user fails to find the word in time, or fails to create an acceptable solution altogether.

If the score is among the 10 best scores achieved, it makes it in the Top Ten Highscores.

troblo is a terminal match-three game, written in Bash.

The aim is to place each time a pair of new tiles with fixed orientation on available empty squares of the 6x6 grid, in order to create rows or columns of three or more matching tiles, which will become empty again.

The new pair of fixed orientation tiles is shown each time at the right side of the grid.

The new pair can be placed only if both selected squares are empty.

The game ends when the grid becomes so clogged with unmatching tiles, and there is no place in the grid to drop the new fixed orientation (horizontal or vertical) pair of tiles.
