When it comes to creating Boggle games for tournament play, most of the time it is done by special software designed to generate completely random and probably fair boards, using words oftentimes pre-selected by the officiating committee. A puzzle book entitled 100 Boggle Puzzles (Improve Your Game) offering 100 game positions was published in the UK in 2003 but is no longer in print.

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.

One player begins the game by shaking a covered tray of 16 cubic dice, each with a different letter printed on each of its sides. In 2008, Parker Brothers released a self-contained version of the game with the dice sealed inside a plastic unit and featuring an integrated timer. In the United Kingdom, Hasbro UK released Super Boggle in 2004 (now discontinued), which features both the 4×4 and 5×5 grid and an electronic timer that flashes to indicate the start and finish. A version of the standard 4×4 set that included a special red "Boggle challenge cube", featuring six relatively uncommon letters. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

Aside from disallowing three-letter words, the other main difference is how to score words at least nine letters long. I’m not good at statistics, but H had the biggest likelihood of appearing more than once on a cube where it appeared at least once. This is because Q is nearly always followed by U in English words (see exceptions), and if there were a Q in Boggle, it would be challenging to use if a U did not, by chance, appear next to it.

It aired on The Family Channel (now ABC Family) in 1994, replacing the interactive version of Trivial Pursuit. Based on the Bananagrammer tests, the new letter distribution results in an average 12% increase in available words per game of Boggle. The 2003 edition (the “Game Folio” edition) has a zipper container, an electronic timer and a sleeker, quieter dice box. Any player may challenge the validity of a word, in which case a previously nominated dictionary is used to verify or refute it.

Using the sixteen cubes in a standard Boggle set, the list of longest words that can be formed includes inconsequentially, quadricentennials, and sesquicentennials, all seventeen-letter words made possible by q and u appearing on the same face of one cube.Two of the 36 game cubes are special; one contains six double-letter combinations and the other includes three blue squares known as blanks which act as a block and must be worked around during play.

CONTENTS: 25 standard letter cubes, 1 Double Letter cube, cube grid with dome, 3-minute sand timer and instructions. Big Boggle is a timed word game where players attempt to find as many connected words as possible from the face up letters resting in a 25 cube grid.As of 2006 [update], only Boggle Junior and Travel Boggle (also marketed as Boggle Folio) continue to be manufactured and marketed in North America alongside the standard Boggle game, apart from a licensed keychain miniature version.
