While continuing to whittle down my game collection to a more reasonable size (it once topped 1,000 games) and after consulting with my wife, I decided there was no need to own two copies of Boggle. I like that the link included both the 4 word requirement for Big Boggle in the calculations and then added 3 letter words for a more direct comparison. FYI, the dictionary we use as our Honorable Boggle Judge we picked out based upon which one had the quantum particles I wanted to be able to get approved. The optional "Double Letter" cube features the six most important 2-letter combinations in the English language.

Based on the Bananagrammer tests, the new letter distribution results in an average 12% increase in available words per game of Boggle. Any player may challenge the validity of a word, in which case a previously nominated dictionary is used to verify or refute it.Recently, I thought I might quit working and try to go to grad school to study biochar, but perhaps I’ll go back for some sort of statistics and linguistics combo program where I study Boggle letter distributions. Boggle CD-ROM, a version for Windows, produced and marketed by Hasbro Interactive, including both 4×4 and 5×5 versions, several 3-D versions, and facilities allowing up to four players to compete directly over the Internet.

Looking at some of the relationships from both directions probably sheds some light on something too (but I don’t know what).Aside from disallowing three-letter words, the other main difference is how to score words at least nine letters long.

Not a physical copy, but an iOS implementation; we’ve been playing an average of about half a game a day for many years now. But the general distribution of letters in the language is where things get more wonky, as B occurs in around 2% of words, but is 0. The Double Letter cube features the six most important 2-letter combinations in the English language, making it easier to form valuable 5 and 6 letter words, and even longer ones!
