- 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.
A couple of interesting features:
~/.config/spelion/spelion.configfile. That means that the puzzle can have e.g. between 10 and 30 solutions, or between 50 and 100 etc.W optionthe 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.
