Boggle Flash

Sort – mix – swap!

To string letters into words as long and as individual as possible – this is the well-known game mechanism of Boggle. Now Boggle has arrived in the electronic age: Instead of the 16 dice in a box that are given a good shake for each round to settle into a new selections of letters there now are only 5 letter cubes. These are big, electronic and feature a display, when you switch them one you can choose one of three ways to play:

Boggle Flash – The cubes each show a letter and you must arrange the cubes as quickly as possible to form a word, you need not use all cubes. When the word is scored form another while your time runs. For each word of five letters that you can make up you win 5 seconds of additional playing time and score a point for each word when time has run out. In Boggle Flash 5 you must use all five letters to form a word. For Boggle Flash Reihum you must have at least two players, you form words in turn, if you cannot make one up you must quit the game. The longer you play the shorter time gets to find a valid word.

It is important for all versions, that the cubes must touch each other to be able to recognize a valid word; the cubes also remember words that have already been formed and do not give a point for a recurring word. Plural forms are new valid words that score you points, by the way.

The cubes store a database of several 10000 words, but it can happen that a word you made up is not listed. In this case quickly find another one, sometimes you can find valid words by simply randomly rearranging the cubes. Boggle Flash is fun and a good training for your vocabulary.
