4X4 letters and you have to connect letters to make words. there are themes. This particular game there was a long word for 200 points: Childbearing. I got that right after I got bearing because when you look for the long word you try to find a word that's large and takes up a bunch of close space... it's like boggle with a 2 min on 1 minute cool-down to check score and missed words... I've learnt many english words on this thing. you can switch it to any language too.

That's actually kind of interesting. Being able to switch languages is actually really cool, that's a neat way to learn spelling and words if you're working on learning a language.

Well done on 2nd place, at least. I didn't know English was your second language, either. You write quite well in English, so I've just assumed it was your native language.

I learned English and French at a young age... weird being a Northern Canadian... come down here and there's basically every damn race and language available.

Oh, I see.

I live in a region of America called Acadiana, named so because many of the original settlers here were the French Acadiens who were exiled from Canada by the British way back when. As such, Creole or Cajun French is a very common second language, especially among older residents. Lots of people will have Cajun French sprinkled into their vocabulary here and there too - "Come on now, cooyon."

Even for Louisiana, this region is kind of unique, as is the language used here. In that way, this area has it's own connection with Canada and France.
