Boggle is a word game designed by Allan Turoff and originally distributed by Parker Brothers. The game is played using a plastic grid of lettered dice, in which players attempt to find words in sequences of adjacent letters (Wikipedia)

Scoring

• Fewer than 3 Letters: no score
• 3 Letters: 1 point
• 4 Letters: 1 point
• 5 Letters: 2 points
• 6 Letters: 3 points
• 7 Letters: 5 points
• 8 or More Letters: 11 points
• Although the 'Qu' cube occupies a single space in the grid, it counts as two letters for the purpose of scoring.
• You will be penalised 1 point for each guess you make that is not recognised as a valid word.
• Multiplyer per Underlined Letter x2
• If two or more players find the same word, it will not be scored
