Everybody knows Boggle, this famous word game designed by Allan Turoff in which each player finds the maximum assortment of letters for words of three letters or more in 3 minutes”. The good news is that the French team from ClusCrive, Ivan and Jessy, has launched an English multiplayer version of Boggle!
“In Boggle, words are formed from adjoining letters. Letters must join in the proper sequence to spell a word. They may join horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, to the left, right, or up-and-down. No letter, however, may be used more than once within a single word.
Any word is acceptable as long as it can be found in Boggle.ClusCrive dictionary. Plural nouns are allowed, as are all verb tenses. Proper names, abbreviations and foreign words are not accepted.”
The longer the word is, the higher the scores: 3 and 4 letters: 1 point, 5 letters: 2 points, 6 letters: 3 points, 7 letters: 5 points and 8 letters and more: 11 points.
If you like Boggle, you will enjoy this multiplayer version. Be warned though, there are much more players in the French section of the site than in the English one!
first and very freak’in hard!!!!
This game’s ace =] im findin it rather hard aswell! =)
I liked seesaw better. This one doesn’t always contain many words, so sometimes it’s impossible to score many points. The arrangement of the letters should have been better planned, for example the chart should always contain between four and six vowels, and not all in the same area.
i had owaes love this game!! owaes win in it, kinda bored sometimes. i need a tougher opponent!!! the highest score i got for this game in this webby is 70 over. so i guess it depends on how the random alphabets appear, its possible to get a v high score.
The competition is better (many, many more players) over at weboggle: http://weboggle.shackworks.com/
Other advantages over this French implementation are the availability of a 5×5 version (minimum word length 4 letters), a full wordlist generator (i.e., it’ll list every possible word from the board, whether anyone found them or not), and better score display (you don’t get more points just ’cause you’ve been there longer, like you do on the French site).
