NAME
       lexter -	a curses falling letters puzzle	game

SYNOPSIS
       lexter [	-v | -h	| -s | -d dictionary ]

DESCRIPTION
       Lexter  is  a  real-time	 word puzzle. Arrange the falling letters into
       words to	score points. Words can	be formed in any direction except  di-
       agonal.	Palindromes are	counted	twice (forwards	and backwards).	Lexter
       supports	multiple dictionaries. Letter scores and frequencies will vary
       with  each  dictionary. In addition to the characters found in the dic-
       tionary there is	a "blank" character. Anytime before the	character  has
       landed you can press a key to assign it a valid letter.
