Grams is a game based on anagrams.

The computer selects a word and then rearranges the letters in the word
and prints out the result.

You then try to figure out the original word and type it in, (followed by
a [RETURN]).

If your word is the one the computer started with you win some points.
The number of points you get is based on how long it took you to find the
word.

If your guess is different from the one the computer "has in mind" you
get to try again.  Remember, you're trying to guess the word the computer
chose, not just any word that uses those letters.

If you want to give up on a word just type an empty line, (hit [RETURN]).
The computer will tell you the word it had in mind and go on to the next.

At the end of ten rounds your score is reported.  A score of 100 points
is considered pretty good.  If your score is the highest so far the
computer remembers it and brags about you to other players!

You can select the number of letters in the words you are guessing by
specifying an extra argument in the command line.  For example:

% grams			This will play the game with five letter words.

% grams -w7		This will play with seven letter words.

% grams -w3		This gets you three letter words (kid's stuff).

A separate record is kept for each word length, so if you have trouble
beating the record for 5 letters you can always try establishing a new
one for 25 letters!

If you just want to see the records then run:

% grams -r
