FALSE ADVERTISEMENT – Boggle With Friends: Word Game Review
This is not Boggle. Boggle has a different set of rules (that make the game much more fun). The things that need to change for this to be actual Boggle are:
• the point system (3-4 letter words should be 1 point, 5let. = 2pt., 6let. = 3pt., 7let. = 5pt., 8+ letters should be 11 points)
• the length of time (should be 3 minutes per round)
• no proper nouns, names, or 1 or 2 letter words.
• letters on dice should be facing different and random directions (some facing you and some not, this is often to your advantage because your brain stops processing words at a certain point when they all face you)
Word Seek is already an app so play that if you want but to call this Boggle is wrong. I gave 3 stars because the app is a little outdated (home screen buttons and such) and the rules thing that I just wrote about. In the app, in a round of playing “Boggle” is well-done technologically (now that would get me 11 points!) I have my phone on mute so when I do or don’t get a word it just vibrates but I’ve also read that people get annoyed at the annoying sounds. No points for “special words” either. Ex: “ark” gets 50 points because it’s hard to find or whatever. It should just be about the length of word, improving your vocabulary as you play!
