Boggle
Objective: Earn points each round by findings words in the “Boggle Puzzle,” using the individual tiles to form
words! The longer your words the more points you earn!
1. Boggle is a Hasbro word game that requires 16 letter cubes, the cube grid with dome, and a 3-minute sand timer.
2. The facilitator will provide the Boggle cubes and the timer.
3. There will be 2 sets of game and each set is composed of 5 rounds.
4. There must be one player per team.
5. Players should bring their pencils and paper
6. The player will play for four rounds before declaring the winner.
7. When all the players are ready with their pencils and paper, the letter cubes are shaken inside the closed grid
box.
8. Then, start the three-minute timer and remove the cover of the box to reveal the letters.
9. Players may write as many words as he/she can following the rules.
 The letters of each word must be joined in a chain
 Either vertical, horizontal or diagonal in any direction
 Must be at least 3 words long!
10. Plural or any derived form of a word counts as separate points
• Example: “Goat & Goats” or “chew, chews & chewed”
11. Players are allowed to write any word from the English Dictionary and can use any form of tense. Besides, players
are also allowed to write words within another word. For example, players can write ‘water’ and ‘ate.’ They will be
counted as two different words.
12. However, players cannot write any proper noun such as America or London, words in other languages and
abbreviations, heightened words or contractions.
13. After each player will say/show one word that they have written, and all the players who have written the same
word have to cut it out.
14. That way, players will be left with only unmatched words, and no two players shall have the same word.
15. Words questioned by player must be checked using dictionary by the facilitator.

The point system of Boggle is as follows:

 3 Letters = 1 point
 4 Letters = 2 point
 5 Letters = 3 points
 6 Letters = 4 points
 7 Letters = 5 points
 8 (Or More) Letters = 10 points

The winner is:

 the player whose words have earned the most points after the 2 sets (each set is composed of 5 rounds) will
be declared as winner

THINGS TO REMEMBER

 Neither the cubes nor the grid may be touched when the timer is running.
 Multiple meanings of the same word do not earn multiple credit.
 The same word found by a player in different areas of the grid may not be counted for multiple credit.
 Both the “M” and the “W” have a line under them.
 The letter “Z” also has a line under it and should not be seen as the word “IN.”
 Common words tend to be found by more than one player. Therefore, if your words are unique and unusual,
they are more likely to earn you points.
