Multi-platform ncurses-based console client for Free Bee

Free Bee is an enhanced Free Software clone of The New York Times game Spelling Bee.

In this game, your goal is to find as many words as you can with the seven letters you are given. You don’t have to use any letter except the middle letter and letters can be used more than once in a word. Finding a word that uses all seven letters yields bonus points! Every game has at least one such word, and many games have multiple.

Earning enough points to reach the rank of Queen Bee wins the game!

You can play the daily challenge like the original game or try your hand at a nearly infinite number of computer-generated random challenges. Unlike the original game, you are not restricted to only a single game per day!
