So, the other day I suggested a game of Boggle. Which was all jolly good fun, but when calculating the scores I realised that there are inherent problems (a) with all word-games, ever and (b) with a game of Boggle which effectively has no time-limit.

Accordingly, here is a very different game. This, I suspect, might appeal to a different set of people to the original game (or, of course, to absolutely no one).

I'm going to post another Boggle grid. As before, you are invited to submit words. However, this time the rules are as follows:

  • A word is a legal word if (and only if) dictionary.com lists it as a word.

  • Words listed by one person score as before. Words listed by more than one person score -1 for each person who lists them.


You're allowed to look words up. You are, however, strongly discouraged from writing scripts to check all possible combinations against dictionary.com's definitions ;)

Rattling the dice in the Boggle box... we come up with a grid which has no vowels in it :(
Rattling the dice again...

Any takers ?
