I was getting the KDE4 KWordQuiz to see if it was added since 3.5.9. What I 
called fill-it-ins are not the same. [1]

Yeah...that shouldn't matter where the game gets made. That was a bad train of 
thought/logic. I still don't think that what I have in mind really belongs in 
kdeedu since it's not really helping people learn the vocabulary rather than 
just finding words in a grid of letters. But like I said in [1], let me know 
if this does belong in kdeedu rather than kdegames since I've better 
clarified what I mean by "fill-it-in".
