Cadenza Bog Cadenza Bog is a word game in medium or high resolution for one player. You have to make words out of 16 letters that are selected at random (but the probability that a letter appears is directly proportional to to the number of times that it appears in the dictionary file). The letters are arranged in cubes in a 4 x 4 pattern. Words must be formed from adjacent cubes and no cube can be used more than once. Every Cube has at least three and at most eight adjacent cubes.

When you think you found all possible words press quit and see if the computer can beat you. A limitation is that the computer only can find words with at most six letters in them while a human player can find words with up to eight letters. The dictionary contains 2400 words, but it is possible to switch it with a larger one. The game is written in OSS Personal Pascal 2.0. [source:mobygames]
