Blocks with letters on. Letters along city blocks.

This seems to be a demonstration of the power of the OP's google-fu. Is there any other point to it?

Class Goat, there is a flash game linked from the middle sentence.
The pics of letter blocks serve as embroidering.

Sitegeist, it would have been nice if you had featured the feature link instead of burying it in cruft.

By the process of elimination I have determine that the word Clemens is staring at intently is "germ."

Second the great game. The structure makes for some truly devious puzzles, combining logic puzzles and anagrams in a beautiful way.
Being no good at anagrams, I cheated.

The controls are awkward, but it's a great hybrid-game idea, yessir. Good find.

The game is great! (but yeah - I almost missed it; I'm glad I read the comments!)

I, for one, wholeheartedly object to systems wherein strict adherence to the sequential or spatial arrangement of letter forms is paramount in the conveyance of semantic intentionality. BullSh@t, I say!
All letter forms are equally valid, whatever their sequential arrangement. This is as obvious as the fact that ELEVEN PLUS TWO is the same as TWELVE PLUS ONE. As obvious as DEBIT CARD means BAD CREDIT. As obvious as ALBERT EINSTEIN equals TEN ELITE BRAINS.

My apologies to mefites and the creator of the game for not featuring the link more clearly. Usually I also dislike the unlabeled links kind of post but went for it this time trying to match the spirit of the game which is clever but also (charmingly) adolescent. It seems I failed.
I still like the extra links to the pics of letter blocks but with hindsight I would now include them under the fold (with labeling). At least Citizen Premier seems to have found the Mark Twain pic of interest.
I'm happy for those who did find the main link and are enjoying the game as much as I. I've a fondness for anagrams and I think this aspect of the game is clever, especially when you get to the levels where the permutations set opens up due to the ability to change letters... Oh, and twoleftfeet, AUCTION can also mean CAUTION.
p.s. I was unaware of the AskMefi thread on the unsatisfactory letter blocks purchase. Thanks for the heads-up Spiffy. What a long Meta thread!
