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.

This game was inspired by https://wordnerd.co/23words/.

Are there not some words which contain the letters I, M or Q?

[-] christos@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

All words contain all letters. To input a letter, type a to z, lower case. To quit, type Q, upper case.

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.
