Product Description: Boggle is a worldwide success phenomenon. It is sold in almost all English-speaking countries, and there are special versions for other languages as well. Boggle is so popular that there are tournaments all over the country. Type "Boggle tournament" into a search engine and you'll get thousands of hits. Boggle Brainbusters! plays like the fast paced word game itself. Try to find as many words of three or more letters as you can. Form words by joining letters up, down, side to side, and even diagonally. Puzzles are suitable for players aged eight to adult - the whole family will be playing and puzzling for hours!
Too simple for me? No dice! This is a paper version of the classic dice game, without the dice, tray or egg timer! The rules are still the same, you link letters up and down, side-to-side and diagonally to create as many words as possible. The more letters in the word, the more points one gets. And if you make it over 100 points, you're really doing well. To add some serious brainbusting, they often stick in mystery words and word categories to find while you're linking letters. Challenging.
Great puzzle book!!! This was the first Boggle book that I bought. I absolutely love them because I enjoy the challenge of making as many words as I can. The book starts with a simple 4x4 block of letters and has about 36 lines that you can use to make words. The challenge to me is to try to make double that amount. After a certain amount of the 4x4 grids, they increase to 5x5, 6x6 and then there are a couple of 18x18 grids in the end. Also, on each page there are special "Brainbusters" for you to find. They give the clues and then you have to find the words. Some are easy, some require a bit more thinking. It's great brain exercise. This is a great puzzle book to have during a lunch break, waiting at the doctors/dentist office, recuperating from an illness/surgery, during a trip or waiting on transportation for the trip or just relaxing at home or even in the park. If like to have fun with letters and words then you will enjoy Boggle Brainbusters.
Good family fun! My daughter and i use this and we both love it. We will take turns or time each other. And some of the puzzles are very challenging and others not so much so I can always find one that suits us both.
Different from original Boggle I love playing Boggle, both the original game and the computer game, so I was disappointed with this book. The rules are somewhat different, making it too easy. Also, there is no "correct" word list, so you can assume all the words you make are correct. Just not what I had expected.
Please write more Boggle books! I love word games and there aren't enough out there- it's a field dominated (almost exclusively) by crossword puzzles. The Boggle workbooks (there are currently two) are terrific- as easy or hard as you want them to be- you're just making words out of adjacent letters- you get higher points for longer words, etc. I am addicted to these books. I've now bought each twice, just keep re-working the same two. So I really wish they'd bring out Boggle Brainbusters 3!
