    Boggle!

    Game Rules

    Person posts up picture of a boggle board.

    During the Boggle round, players try to find as many words as possible of three or more letters each and write them on their piece of paper (hiding them from other Boggle players). The words must only use a single letter on the Boggle board once (unless it appears twice- having more than one die with an "s" on it, for example), and all letters in the word must be connected on the Boggle board horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

    Boggle players receive one point for each unique three or four letter word (that no other player wrote down). For words over four letters long, players receive one point plus one additional point for each letter over four. So, for example, a six letter word in Boggle would be worth three points. One point for the first four letters and then two points for the fifth and sixth letters. Words less then three letters receive no points in Boggle.

    Plural words ("game" versus "games") and words of different tenses ("play" versus "played") are all valid Boggle words individually.


    Each player can state one word per post, the next player must try to equal or better the previous players word score.
    Eg:

    Bigbeh: Ram

    MOMUS: Rams

    Bigbeh: Tram

    MOMUS: Trams

    Bigbeh: Transumte!

    MOMUS: Mute?

    If you cannot beat the previous players word you must post a word that nobody else has posted yet.

    Re: Boggle!

    But how does it werk for iterwebz?

    Correctly adapting a game for these hallowed forii is always a difficult task. That's why Urban Fox Slalom hasn't popped up here yet.

    EDIT: Now it's interweb-friendly! Good work. Will have a go tomrrow.

    Dont think you can have that one either, all the letters must 'connect' to each other.

    Attachment 143212

    From this example it would be impossible to speel the word 'Torn' as the T cannot connect to the other letters.

    Spelter. (yes, it's a word)

    Would it not be easier to determine what letters are what if you turned the dice the same way up?
