Description
Boggle is a text-mode reimplementation of the board game boggle. Per the original, a random selection of letters appears on a 4-by-4 grid, and the objective is to identify as many complete words as possible. Subsequent letters must be adjacent either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
There is no visible timer in this version of Boggle; the passage of time is instead indicated by terminal bell sounds. If the terminal sound is turned off, this can result in the game ending rather suddenly. After the round is complete, the game will list all available words on the board compared to those you located, and indicate which provided words are errors.
