WHAT IS BOGGLE?

Boggle is one of the most popular word search games. 

The rules are simple:

• You have to find as many words as possible on the grid
• You can move from one letter (dice) to another if it is a neighbor (in all directions)
• You cannot use a letter (dice) more than once in a word
• You get points for each word - the more letters the better
• The puzzle is solved when you collect 30%, 60% or 90% of the total possible points depending on the difficulty

WHAT ARE THE BOGGLE BASICS?

Boggle is a word game that requires 16 letter cubes similar to dice, but with letters. The Boggle grid has a dome so when you shake the game the dice are not lost and can easily fall into the grid. A sand timer accompanies the game, so players have 3 minutes to find as many words as possible. You must have a minimum of two players to play.

The goal of the game is to have the highest point total. To gain points, players must create words from the randomly assorted letters in the cube grid. The longer the word, the higher the point value of the word, according to Boggle rules.

• Boggle is a game involving the creation of as many words as possible from special dice in a specified time limit, and involves two players or more.
• Boggle generally features sixteen cubes or dice that have a single letter on each face, with the exception of ‘Q’, which is combined with the letter ‘U’ as ‘Qu’; as well as a container and lid, designed to hold the dice in place.
• The typical aim of Boggle is to find words within the letter arrangements that sit next to each other on the dice, which are randomized each round by shaking the container.
• Each Boggle player writes the words they find on their own piece of paper, and they are read aloud when time is up, which is usually three minutes on the timer.
• Points are scored in Boggle according to the word length – generally those three to four letters in length score one point, with words eight or more letters in length scoring eleven points, while words found by multiple players are generally considered null and have a point value of zero.
• While each player reads the words they discovered, the other players check their lists for the same words, crossing them off if they match. The points are allocated to each player if they have a unique word.

HOW DO YOU PLAY BOGGLE AT WORDPLAYS?

Play Boggle online and test your skill at making words from letters. Each of these games will present you with a matrix filled with letters. The objective is to form words by concatenating adjacent letters. Letters that are to the left, right, on top, bottom, or on a diagonal to each other are all acceptable. A timer will count down and when time expires your score will be computed and compared to the computer's score.

If you've played Boggle online at wordplays before and want to revisit a puzzle, you can find a Boggle puzzle using the puzzle number in the adjacent dialog. If the puzzle number entered is invalid, a random puzzle will be shown. Boggle puzzles retrieved using the puzzle number are not eligible for the high score list.

HOW DO YOU PLAY BOGGLE OFFLINE?

• You must have a pencil and paper in order to write down words and tabulate scores.
• To begin, make sure that you have all 16 letter cubes and cover the grid with the dome.
• Shake up the cubes so that they are thoroughly mixed and are sitting on the grid with one letter face showing.
• Start the timer at the same time the dome is removed from the grid.
• Try to remain quiet and not shout out answers. Also, make sure that your paper is covered so that other players can not see your answers.
• You create words by combining letters. The letters must touch one another and connect in the proper order to create a word. The letters may connect, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The letters can be side by side, above, below or touching the corners. The words can be spelled in any direction, even backwards.
• The words must be found in a dictionary.
• You cannot use the same letter cube multiple times.
• When the sand timer stops the game stops and the players must stop writing.
• The players take turns reading their words, if players have the same words then they are not counted towards your score.

HOW DO YOU KEEP SCORE IN BOGGLE?

TIPS FOR PLAYING BOGGLE

Here are some of the things to keep in mind when playing Boggle.

Just because a word has multiple meanings does not mean that you will get multiple points.

If you can spell a word in multiple ways they can be counted as individual words. For example, plural words can be counted as individual words.

Make sure that you write down all common words. Granted, most players will have the common words, but you want to make sure that they don’t get the points for something simple.

Don’t get frustrated by the confusing rules of Boggle. It is a fun game and with a little bit of practice you can become a very good Boggle player.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BOGGLE

IS THERE A COMMON WAY TO WIN BOGGLE?

When you are playing, get the common words out of the way quickly and then focus on finding longer words to get a higher score.

IS THERE ANY PLAYER LIMIT TO BOGGLE?

In order to play you must have at least two players, but there is no maximum number of players that can play. If you like playing fast paced games, having more than four people can sometimes bog the game down. However, the more people, the bigger the challenge.

CAN YOU WRITE SYNONYMS IN BOGGLE?

You can write as many words as possible, no matter what their meaning is. The words can not be spelled the same, that is the only basic rule.
