"Lexcavator is an arcade/word game for Mac, PC, and Linux. The goal: guide your guy (@) deeper into an infinite of letters by clearing words from the board! Multiple game modes, detailed record-keeping, online global leaderboards—there's something here for everybody! Pay what you want (even $0, if you are so inclined)." [via mefi projects]

No DRM. No in-app purchases. No not having fun. Go!

From MeFi's own aparrish.

Best. Also super appropriate that a MeFite was the first to come up with "beans."
