How to play Boggle

  1. Shake the gridPick a 4x4 or 5x5 grid and a timer, then press Shake new grid.
  2. Link lettersEach next letter must touch the previous one sideways, up, down or diagonally, and each cube is used once per word.
  3. Score wordsLonger words score more. When time is up, see the words you missed.

Boggle rules and scoring

Words must be at least three letters long and are built from letters that touch each other in the grid, including diagonally. You may not use the same cube twice in one word. The Qu cube counts as two letters, so QUIT uses three cubes. Proper nouns and abbreviations do not count; this game checks words against a curated English word list of about 38,000 common words.

Scoring follows the classic rules: three and four letter words score 1 point, five letters 2, six letters 3, seven letters 5 and eight or more 11. The 5x5 grid uses the Big Boggle cube set, which has more vowels and allows longer words.

Look for endings

-ED, -ER, -ING and -S turn short words into longer, higher-scoring ones.

Use the Qu

QU words such as QUIT, QUOTE and QUEEN are often overlooked.

Scan in rings

Work around each letter's neighbors to find hidden combinations.

Boggle FAQ

How do I enter a word?

Drag across the letters and let go, tap letters one after another and tap the last one again to submit, or type the word and press Enter.

Why was my word rejected?

It may be too short, already found, impossible to trace on the grid, or not in the word list. The message under the grid tells you which.

How is Qu handled?

The Q cube always shows Qu and spells both letters. Type the full word, including the U.

Which dictionary is used?

A list derived from SCOWL with roughly 38,000 common English words, the same list used by our anagram solver.
