† faylesn.

Etymology: The writer of Ludus Anglicorum (see quot. c1330) connects the word with fail v.; the game being usually decided by the failure of one of the players to make a throw that would enable him to move. Godefroy has two examples of the Old French phrase jouer a la faille, which, though figurative, may contain an allusion to this game.

Obsolete.

An obsolete form of Back-gammon.
