Bollix is a word game based on a possibly familiar real-life game. Find as many words as possible on a 4x4 board of random letters in three minutes. Longer words award more points.

At the moment, Bollix is a one- or two-player game. I don't have much confidence in the networking code yet, which is why I consider this version to be alpha.
Ultimately I'd like to have network games with an arbitrary number of players.

What's New:
Added two-player network play with chat
If you close the game window, the program quits
Fixed a crash caused by failed connections to the dictionary server
Rearranged main window and dictionary panel
Dictionary panel has clickable links
Changed timer to hourglass in toolbar
Removed 103,939 questionable words from the lexicon.
