How to Play Boggle - Rules of the Game

1. Find words by "chaining" letters.The goal of Boggle is to score points by finding words in the random letters in the grid. The letters you use must be touching vertically, horizontally, or diagonally in a chain. You can't skip or "jump" across letters.
2. Words must be at least three letters long.
Very short words, like "I," "an," and so on are not allowed.

3. The same letter can't be used twice in the same word.

When you're making a word, you can only use each die once. For example, if you make the word "neon", you can't use the "n" at the start of the word again at the end of the word.
4.

Words can go in any direction.

The words you find don't have to go right-to-left. They can go up, down, backwards, forwards, and diagonally as long as all of the letters are connected in a chain and each letter is used only once.

5. Count each word only once.

It's common for simple words to appear on the Boggle board several times. However, you may only write each word once on your piece of paper. In other words, you're trying to seehow manydifferentwords you can find.
6. Any word found in an English dictionary is allowed. It's a good idea to have a dictionary handy when you play Boggle to settle disputes. If you can find a word in the dictionary, it's "fair game."

7. Plural forms of words count as separate words.

For example, if you see the word "apples," you are actually allowed to write down two words: "apple" and "apples."

8. Words-within-words are allowed.

For example, if you see a word like "Webster," you can also write down "web" "webs." This is an excellent strategy for scoring as many points as possible.

9. Know which sorts of words are usually disallowed.
  • Proper nouns (i.e., names of specific people, places, etc. that start with a capital letter)
  • Abbreviations and contractions (i.e., words that use periods or apostrophes to take the place of letters)
  • Words borrowed from languages other than English
