Savant was published as LanWords back in 1992. It was a crossword puzzle game for Windows that featured configurable rules (so you can configure it to play the Scrabble rules), the OSPD2 word list, network multiplayer support with a chat facility, and the first (AFAIK) complete endgame solver. It also has a nice crossword and anagram solver with wildcards. It still works today under Windows XP. Feel free to download it, unzip it to a directory and play. If you're curious, there's also an anagram/crossword solver for DOS in the same directory. It was just an exercise in seeing how small it could be made. -David --- sfman2k wrote: > David, > > I, for one, have never heard of Savant.
