Shake a grid of lettered dice and race the clock to spot as many words as possible by linking adjacent letters — longer words score more points in this fast and frenzied word game.

The Essentials

Only form words by connecting letters that are adjacent to each other, including diagonally, since a word using letters that touch only by corner counts just as much as one using letters that share a full edge. Never reuse the same letter cube twice within a single word, since each cube can only contribute one letter to any given word even if the same letter appears again elsewhere on the board. Set a visible timer for three minutes before shaking the letters, since Boggle depends on time pressure to keep the game fast-paced, and playing without a strict limit removes most of the challenge. Write down every word you find immediately rather than trying to remember them, since holding several words in your head while still searching the board causes you to lose track of ones you already spotted. Cross out any word that another player also found during scoring, since only words unique to one player count for points, meaning common short words are often worth less than a single long word nobody else spotted. Look for common letter combinations like 'ING,' 'TION,' or 'ED' first, since these appear frequently and scanning for them systematically finds more words faster than randomly searching the grid.
