QUICK BOGGLER

Here is a series of games that you can play to test your skill. Each of these games will present you with a matrix filled with letters. The objective is to form words by concatenating adjacent letters. Letters that are to the left, right, on top, bottom, or on a diagonal to each other are all acceptable. A timer will count down and when time expires your score will be computed and compared to the computer's score.

Y	A	T	R
P	H	N	E
X	C	L	Y
S	V	E	T

Here are some words that can be found in this sample matrix:

Here are some words that are not valid in this puzzle:

chaps - 's' is not adjacent

BOGGLER CLASSIC

The Boggler Classic game uses a 4 x 4 matrix. There is a 3 minute time limit. Valid words must be at least three letters long.

WILD CARD BOGGLER

Wild Card Boggler is similar to Boggler Classic with the following exceptions. The game uses a 3 x 3 matrix. One letter in the matrix is randomly replaced with a Wild Card (

). The Wild Card can be replaced by any letter. Valid words must be at least four letters long. The Wild Card can be used as different letters in the same puzzle.

QUICK BOGGLER

Quick Boggler is the same as Boggler Classic except the grid is 3 x 3 and the time limit is one minute. This is excellent for beginners or those in a hurry.

SCORING

Words are valued at 1 point for each letter in excess of two letters. A three letter word is worth 1 point, a four letter word is worth 2 points, and so on.
Words formed by adding an s, 'ed', 'es', or 'er' are all valid. For example, chase, chases, chaser, chased and chasing are all valid if they can be made from adjacent letters in the matrix.

ENTERING ANSWERS

Letters should be entered in the text field to the right of the grid below the timer. Letters may be entered in upper or lower case. Invalid characters are automatically removed from the text entry field.
After completely entering the desired answer, type SPACE, TAB, or ENTER. Your entry will move to the answers text field below the entry field. Entries will be added to the answer list without being validated. Answers will only be validated after the game is over.
