I’ve been playing online Boggle for some months now - and guess what? I’m lousy at it. Downright terrible, useless. I keep trying, but I’ve only improved marginally. I think I’m addicted. *sigh*
If you’ve never played, the idea is to find words among the letters - forwards, backwards, diagonally, up and down - it doesn’t matter as long as you can form a word.
Here’s the site, it’s called Wordtwist. I play the 5 X 5 board. You get three minutes to type in words that must have at least four letters.
I think I’m insulted. I’m supposed to be good at words, right? HAH! I’m not. I can hardly get out of the “very low” range. The couple of times I hit “average” I went on a chocolate binge to celebrate. Part of the problem is that I’m a fumble-fingered non-typist and you only get three minutes. But I still can’t believe the high scores. *grumble* On bad days, I wonder if such super-bogglers even exist.
I tell myself it’s more to do with patterns and spatial ability - not my strong point - than vocabulary. But…oh dear!
You have a try. It’s absolutely free. You can even get an account. Here’s the link to the Wordtwist site and here’s the link to the 5 X 5 board I play. Let me know how you get on, okay? WARNING: This is the biggest time-waster known to woman. Guess what I’m doing instead of my revisions? *rolls eyes*

I wish you hadn’t told us about this. I have enough trouble controlling my obsessions with computer games. Now I’ll never get anything done!
I’m never any good at this game, but I’m getting addicted because I’m trying to beat my time in the previous game. LOL!
I’m not sure; could be a hoax. There ain’t no way anyone could have found 119 words in the puzzle I just looked at.
Elaine, you’re a great comfort to me! I can tell you already that I’m NOT getting anything done!
I know what you mean, Dani. It gets you in and then you’re stuck. I’m so determined to improve, it’s silly. Only I’m not.
Jenny, I don’t argue so much with the number of words - though they use a lot of old and unusual words I have never heard of - and I’m supposed to have a good vocabulary. No, it’s the three minute time limit that gets me. You’d have to be a speed typist. *grumble* I ain’t.
