  Description     : crossword game like Scrabble

Eliot is an open source Scrabble game which offers three different game modes:

1- The free game mode is the standard one, ideal for having fun with your friends
   or family. The players play in turn on the board, each with his own rack.
2- In the duplicate mode, all the players are faced with the same board and letters
   at the same time. It is mainly used in clubs and competitions since it takes
   away the chance (and tactics) component(s) of the game.
3- The training mode allows to play alone and make progress for the duplicate. It
   gives more freedom than the multiplayer modes.

Eliot also provides many tools for advanced search such as the following:

- Search for the best move on a given board and rack.
- Search for the possible connections, "Benjamins" (addition of three letters at
  the beginning of a previous word), or for all the words that can be composed with
  the letters of the rack.
- You can also use regular expressions to search in the dictionary.
