I will be your Host on this week’s game show! So … Here are the rules of how to play this ASTOUNDING game! (Not to mention there are points involved ~ if you needed more of an incentive)

 

Boggle Rules: How to Play

The Boggle Round

 

 

All Boggle players should start the game with a computer or other access to DM on this thread. The Boggle cube, or this here:

 

A I V I L I O

N I S I G I O

J I L I A I O

A I D I C I E

 

(filled with random letters)

I am going to switch these out 2 times a day (roughly 6 hours apart) after that you will PM me your answers, containing all words you could find within the board. There is going to be a 15 grace period for when answers to a board will be accepted.

During the Boggle round, players try to find as many words as possible of three or more letters each and write them on their PM to me (hiding them from other Boggle players). The words must only use a single letter on the Boggle board once (unless it appears twice- having more than one die with an "s" on it, for example), and all letters in the word must be connected on the Boggle board horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Once the Boggle timer runs out, all players must PM me their answers within 15 minutes. I will let you all know when time is up.

 

 

Boggle Scoring

After time is called, I will tally up the points. If another player or players have the same Boggle word, all players with that word must cross it out (ie. no points are to be gained). Only unique words receive points in Boggle.

If a player reads off a word which another player thinks may not be a valid Boggle word (because it isn't a real word, or is slang, etc.), you can either use a dictionary as the deciding factor or all players can vote on it. We will decide on this at the beginning of the game. If it is decided that the word is not a valid Boggle word, the player who read the word must subtract points equal to what they would have gained from the word. I will post skeptic words available for either dictionary or voting, which will be done in bold and blue. There is NO penalty in Boggle for typing an invalid Boggle word. It's only a problem if the Boggle player decides to PM the word during the scoring period.

Boggle players receive one point for each unique three or four letter word (that no other player wrote down). For words over four letters long, players receive one point plus one additional point for each letter over four. So, for example, a six letter word in Boggle would be worth three points. One point for the first four letters and then two points for the fifth and sixth letters. Words less then three letters receive no points in Boggle.

Plural words ("game" versus "games") and words of different tenses ("play" versus "played") are all valid Boggle words individually.

I will announce everyone’s scores as soon as possible. After the game is over points will be awarded as such:

Winner: 25 points

2nd: 20 Points

3rd: 15 Points

All other Active Players: 10 Points

Players who drop out: 5 points

 

Most Creative/Long word would get a Bonus of 5 points plus whatever siggy you can find.

 

Mod: 30 Points

LET’S BOGGLE! (Can that be used as a verb?)

 

Players:

  1. Cyan
  2. Ithi
  3. Tina (The Lady Dragon!)
  4. Ayla

ooooooh ... very fancy indeed. I think I will have a go at this. You will be allowing The correct English spellings of words I take it?

 

Yes but it could be a disadvantage if there happens to be one without a U.

Grid One Results:

 

Ayla - 1st

Tina- 2nd

Ithi - 3rd

Turin - 4th

Cyan - 5th

 

 

All of the words will not be revealed due to different strategies used by different people but point numbers can be requested.
