Boggle - Word Factory

Boggle is a word game designed by Allan Turoff and trademarked by Parker Brothers/ Hasbro, Inc. Rules The play begins by randomizing a tray of sixteen cubic dice. Each die has a different letter printed on each of its sides. The dice settle into a four by four tray such that only the top letter of each cube is visible. After they have settled into the grid, a three-minute timer is started and all players simultaneously begin the main phase of play. Each player searches for words that can be constructed from the letters of sequentially adjacent cubes. Here, the meaning of "adjacent" includes the horizontally, vertically, and diagonally neighboring cubes. Words must be at least three letters long, may include singular and plural (or other derived forms) separately, but may not use the same letter cube more than once per word. Each player records all the words he finds by writing on his private sheet of paper. After three minutes have elapsed, all players must stop writing and the game enters the scoring phase. In the scoring phase, each player reads off his or her list of discovered words. If two or more players wrote the same word, it is discarded from all players' lists. Any player may challenge the validity of a word, in which case a previously nominated dictionary is used to verify or refute the word. For all words remaining after duplicates have been eliminated, points are awarded based on the length of the word. The winner is the player whose point total is highest. Any ties are typically broken by count of long words. Note that one cube is printed with QU. This is because Q is (almost) always followed by U in English words. If there were a Q in Boggle, it would have to appear next to a U to be usable. To give players a chance to use the Q more frequently, QU is provided as a single letter tile. However, for the purposes of scoring QU counts as two letters: squid would score two points (for a five-letter word) but is formed from a chain of only four cubes. The North American National Scrabble Association publishes the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary (OSPD), which is also suitable for Boggle. This dictionary includes all variant forms of words up to eight letters in length. A puzzle book entitled 'Improve Your Boggle' offering 100 game positions was published in the UK in 2003 but is no longer in print. - answers.com
