Product Information

Using the sixteen cubes in a standard Boggle set, the list of longest words that can be formed includes inconsequentially, quadricentennials, and sesquicentennials, all seventeen-letter words made possible by q and u appearing on the same face of one cube. [3] Parker Brothers has introduced several licensed variations on the game. As of 2006 [update], only Boggle Junior and Travel Boggle (also marketed as Boggle Folio) continue to be manufactured and marketed in North America alongside the standard Boggle game, apart from a licensed keychain miniature version. Boggle Junior is a much-simplified version intended for young children. Boggle Travel is a car-friendly version of the standard 4×4 set. The compact, zippered case includes pencils and small pads of paper, as well as an electronic timer, and notably, a cover made from a soft plastic that produces much less noise when the board is shaken. If two players have any of the same words, they should be crossed off. Any unique words that are found count for points. Point are determined by the length of each unique word. So players will count up how many letters are in each word and award themselves points depending on the word length: Each letter after the first must be a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal neighbor of the one before it. Different versions of Boggle have varying distributions of letters. For example, a more modern version in the UK has easier letters, such as only one K, but an older version (with a yellow box, from 1986) has two Ks and a generally more awkward letter distribution.

Players will write down all the words they can find on their own paper. Words must be at least three letters long. Any word that can be found in a basic English dictionary can be used. When the timer goes off, all players will put down their pen/pencils. Then you will take turns reading off the words you found. In 2012, Winning Moves Games USA released a 6×6 version of the game called Super Big Boggle. In addition to the two-letter dice with popular letter combinations, there is also a die containing three faces which are solid squares. These solid squares represent a word stop, which is simply a space that may not be used in any word. The other changes are that the time limit was increased from three minutes to four minutes, three-letter words are no longer allowed, and there is a modified scoring scheme, outlined below. a b Hinebaugh, Jeffrey P.

Unlike Scrabble, there is no national or international governing or rule-making body for Boggle competition and no official tournament regulations exist. [15] When it comes to creating Boggle games for tournament play, most of the time it is done by special software designed to generate completely random and probably fair boards, using words oftentimes pre-selected by the officiating committee.
