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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
