Boggle Word Game Rules (4x4 Version)

Number of Boggle Players

At least two. The more players there are, the harder it is to score points.

What's Needed to Play

Make enough copies, one for each player. Each player also needs a pen or pencil. You'll also need a watch that can time for two minutes.

How to Play Boggle

Distribute one copy of one of the boggle game page and a pencil to each player. Pass the page to each player up-side-down so that nobody has an advantage of seeing the page first. Start timing for two minutes and players will turn over their page and start looking for words.

Players can write down words they find in the grid that match the following rules:

The letters in the words must be connected in the same order in the grid. The letters can be connected by an edge or a corner. The word doesn't have to appear in a straight line. It can be tangled around. Each letter in the word must uniquely appear in the grid. For example, if the word is ERASE, the letter E must appear twice in the grid. The word can't just loop back and re-use the same E. Words must be at least 3 letters long Words cannot be a proper noun, such as a name or place.

Here's an example:

T E O V T E O V

E S R F L S R F

W N A P W N A P

C A R I C A R I

This is a valid occurrence of the word This is NOT a valid occurrence of the word ERASE in the grid since ERASE in the grid. there needs to be another E for the end of the word.

How the Boggle Game Ends

There are several ways that you can end a boggle game. Just decide in advance which you'll use:

1. Play for a certain length of time. 2. Play up to a certain number of points. Scoring Your Boggle Game

In boggle, you only earn points if no one else has found a word that you have and that word is a valid word from the grid. In order to determine which words can score, someone will read their list of words. If any two players have that word, then the word must be crossed off each list. When the first player is finished with their list, then the next player reads through their list and players cross off duplicate words. This continues until everyone has read their list and has a list of unique words they found. Here is how to score the words:

Less than 3 letters= 0 pts (invalid boggle word) 3 letters = 1 pt 4 letters = 1 pt 5 letters = 2 pts 6 letters = 3 pts 7 letters = 5 pts 8 letters or more = 11 pts (optional scoring rule) Word matches theme = double the points for the word length

This last scoring rule is not part of the standard boggle rules. It is a special rule for our theme based boggle. For example, if someone found the word fish the word would be worth 2 points (4 letters = 1 points, then double for theme match). In order to receive the doubled word points, the group has to agree that the found word matches the theme.
