Lexicon is fairly easy-to-pick-up puzzle game where the goal is to make every horizontal and vertical series of squares contain a valid word when read from left-to-right or top-to-bottom. There are no other constraints, and it turns out that this task is more than hard enough. There are about 20 levels, the final one being a 6x5 array of open squares which apparently even the author can not finish.
An interesting note is that the dictionary is embedded directly into the Robotic script. This seems wasteful but it does its job. I would have preferred to see the library in a different file to, for instance, allow the user to easily substitute another language set or the like. Something to think about for Lexicon 2 I guess!!!
