Beat your friends at this quick-play Boggle game. Race the clock to find words that your opponents will miss in just 90 seconds. First, shake the grid to mix up the letter cubes then lift the lid and flip the timer. You will have limited time to try to find as many words in the grid as possible. Each word must be three letters or longer. At the end of the round, score your words, deducting any that two or more players found. The player with the most points wins.
Boggle is the fun, on-the-go, and competitive wordplay that is just as great for 2 players as it is for families to start enjoying engaging board games. Compact design makes it well-suited for travel because a timer and dice can fit in a small case. Play on a plane, while camping, or on the couch-wherever you go-anywhere and play Boggle in a rapid and thrilling match. That is why it is portable, and can be easily played, making it a good option on many occasions.
It includes a container with 16 cubes, with each side of the cubes carrying a letter. After shaking the container, players must find, within 90 seconds, as many words as possible from this grid. Words should be at least three letters long, and points are awarded for unique words the other players didn't find. Longer or more unusual words achieve extra points, which can make the game challenging yet rewarding.
Boggle is a classic, simple game that can provide hours of fun. It's easy to learn but provides endless replayability, as the grid of letters changes every time you play. Ideal for families, it's a game that can be enjoyed by players of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're looking for a quick break or a longer game session, Boggle is sure to keep you entertained. Try it now and see how many words you can find before the time's up!

My family young and old have fun with Boggle, we use one dictionary and if in it, we allow the word, otherwise too many arguments arise! My 81 yr old sister is the champion, but her 50ish daughter is closing in! We learn so many new words per game, amazing, good to keep brains thinking!
