Fun Little Word Game
 
How many words can you find in FIRST?

You may be surprised, but there are 29 words found in FIRST! Impressive, right?

Now for the real challange: how many in robotics? Hint: More than 100, and they must be in the dictionary.

To get you started:

1. bistro
2. brosot
3. boist
4. boort
5. boost
6. boots
7. boric
8. boris
9. coost

I will give the answer in about a week. Everyone enjoy!

Yes, using the generator scripts like that are cheating. It makes it no fun!
