Here's the new grid. It's pretty interesting. I've gotten 2 7-letter words and 1 8-letter word so far. Can you do one better?

| R | E | L | A |
| P | O | C | T |
| A | D | U | S |
| K | I | Y | E |

Happy Boggling!

Jess

I've got a nine, but I've never Boggled before. What do you do? Just put the letters together to form a word without using any of the given letters more than once?

You have to connect the letters and form a word.
No jumping though, eg. LEOPARD is unaccepted.

Oh, thank you, frivolous. I definitely withdraw my 9 and 10. I just jumped in with an assumption--and didn't know the rules. (I'd thought perhaps the game was simply pulling out words, and, that, of course, easily took me to 'replicate' and 'replicates'--both illegal, I see now, with your explanation.)

4 7-letters and 2 8-letters? What are those? PM me if you don't want to spoil it for the others.

Thanks.

Well, the object of the game is to get as many words as you can, the longer your words are, the better. At least in official Boggle rules, longer words mean more points.

PM me as well. I've stared at it for eternity and all I got were two 7s and an 8 (like JessCC).

I love this game!
