Rules Of The Game - Boggle

The game of Boggle starts by shaking a tray covered with 16 cubic dice and each of them with a different letter which has been printed on either side. The dice is dropped into a four by four tray and in this way only the top part of the cube is visible. Once the dice shows up the numerical it signals the starting phase of the game and this makes the start of the main phase of the game. Now players have to be careful and observant while searching for words as these words have to be carefully chosen or constructed and all the words made have to be at least 3 letters long. Make sure the player does not use the same letter cube twice. The words can either be singular or plural but eventually the player must make sure the word from each cube is not made twice. The player is also allowed to use the scrabble dictionary if necessary and this makes the game quite similar to the game of scrabble. Each of the players has to make a note of all the words he or she makes and this can be done with the help of a pen and notepad. A total of 3 minutes is given to the player to make up the words and this shows the games’ extreme importance for time and speed. This puts the player to a complete mind test as the game is made to be played with caution as wrong spelling too can earn a loss in points. Now after the 3 minutes the game enters into scoring phase and here each player reads off his words and the players compare the number of words made.
Now if a certain player has two or more words that are similar with another player he or she has to make sure that the score is not given for that particular word. After all common words between players are removed the scores are calculated and this accounts for the game being made a little difficult. So the trick here is to choose a word from a wide vocabulary of words that a player thinks is rare. Now that all the common words are removed the scoring shall begin. The process is relatively easy as the words are scored on account of their length. Here are the points scoring chart for each letter

3 letters= 1 point
4 letters=1 point
5 letters= 2 points
6 letters=3 points
7 letters= 5 points
8+letters = 11 points

These are just the rules for the standard version of boggle and this game can be played with a ton of different variations but the rules mentioned here are for standard playing tips only. Thus the game is relatively easy to start playing and the game is made with an easy set of rules. The backbone of the game depends upon the vocabulary skills of the player along with his speed skills along with his ability not to make mistakes.
