Ever since I found out about the free multiplayer online version of Boggle around the beginning of this year, I have been completely addicted. And in the meantime, I've managed to get several family members and friends and those friends' friends and family members equally addicted.
Anyone here play? Here's the link to the game --

For those who don't know or perhaps need a refresher, Boggle is a board game where the object is to make as many words as possible from a board of 4x4 letters.
So take for example the 4x4 board below --
So you find as many three-or-more letter words using any series of letters that are touching each other, but each letter can only be used once for each word you find. Note the letters can be touching on any side, including the diagonals.
From the board above, some example words are
tag
die
tune
tuned
bogied
abide
dune
dine
end
And so on. You get more points for words with more letters.
3 or 4 letters -- 1 point
5 letters -- 2 points
6 letters -- 3 points
7 letters -- 5 points
8 or more -- 11 points
So there's a strategy choice between looking for longer words to get more points or looking for a bunch of smaller words, or somewhere in between (generally what happens).
If you guys play look for me there as David Scarboggle D. I've slowly gotten better, if I'm really on I usually get top ten. There's tough competition there pretty much at all times of the day, everyday...
