1. Boggle instructions Boggle is played with 16 random letters, you will play with randomly generated letters. Players have three minutes (shown by the countdown timer) to find as many words as they can in the grid, according to the following rules: – The letters must be adjoining in a 'chain'. (Letter cubes in the chain may be adjacent horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.) – Words must contain at least three letters. – No letter cube may be used more than once within a single word. – When the time is up, your score will be calculated. – The word must appear in the English dictionary, this doesn’t include slang or abbreviations. Record answers on white boards

2. 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: 4 points 8 or More Letters: 11 points Penalise 1 point per word that is made up or not in the dictionary.
