[HOWT]

       Boggle Plus is made up of the classic Boggle game, computerised, along
with a larger size of Boggle and three extra games based around the Boggle
concept.

       In a 4x4 grid, you are given 16 letters (or possibly more, as Q will
always come as Qu). You can select a letter, then select any of the up to eight
letters right around it in the cardinal and diagonal directions, and then any of
the letters around the second letter, to string together a word from 3 to 9
letters in length.

       Each letter can be used only once per word, but you can use the letters
as many times as you want to form as many words as you can find. For example, in
a grid with a row that had the word RATS, you could first combine R-A-T to come
up with RAT, then combine R-A-T-S to get the plural form RATS, and then use S-T
-A-R to get STAR.

       Given how anachronistic this game is, a lot of words may not be
recognised. You are, however, given the chance after each game is over to
override rejected words and have them be accepted either, up to an apparent
maximum of 25 words per game (of course, getting anywhere near that limit is
unlikely).

       Points are awarded on the basis of the letter length of each word. When
playing against an opponent, human or computer, words that are discovered by two
or more people are invalidated and not counted towards the total score.


Scoring
-------
       Roughly, the scoring mechanism of this game goes along as:

       3 letters - 1 point
       4 letters - 1 point
       5 letters - 2 points
       6 letters - 3 points
       7 letters - 5 points
       8 letters - 11 points
       9 letters - 11 points


Computer Opponents
------------------
       Although this may not be a technically accurate list, this is generally
a good list to follow for how smart the A.I. of each opponent is, from smartest
to least smart.

Boggle
------
       This is the regular, standard game with 4x4 grid.

Big Boggle
----------
       The Boggle screen is expanded to a 5x5 grid, so you are given 25 letters
to work with instead of 16.

Anagram
-------
       You will be given a Boggle screen with only a limited number of letters.
To win, you must descramble the given letters and figure out what word they make
up, and then how to achieve that using the Boggle rules. Different difficulties
give you harder and longer words to descramble.

Categories
----------
       You will be given a Boggle screen with a limited number of letters, and
a category to find words that belong to that category. For example, if you are
given the category 'Army', two of the words that may belong to that category are
'FATIGUES' and 'FORT'.

Use All
-------
       A full 5x5 Boggle screen shall be given to you, but with a twist: every
time you use a letter on a word, that letter vanishes, permanently. Your goal is
to use up all 25 letter boxes - if you eventually run out of words to create,
you can choose the option Scramble Cubes from your Start Menu to change the
remaining letters to try to piece together words again. Using the Scramble Cubes
option more than three times during a single game shall reduce your Bonus
Points.

       I don't really care too much about donations, but if you are feeling
generous, feel free to send one via PayPal to gammabetaalphafaqs AT gmail DOT

       Alternatively, if you ever order any items from Amazon.com, go to the
link below. You do not have to buy anything right away, but (if you do not clear
browser cookies often) any items you buy within the next 90 days will count as a
'referral order' to me, meaning I get anywhere from 4-6% as a referral/affiliate
payment of what you ordered (ie. order $100 worth of stuff, I get $4-6 from
Amazon.com)

       Other than that, considering this FAQ is for an obscure old game, if you
have any other obscure old games that you do not play anymore, consider sending
them to me (I will even pay the shipping cost!). I write FAQs for plenty of
obscure old games with no FAQs, and having a physical copy of the game (and even
better, a manual) is superior to not. You can email me if interested at
gammabetaalphafaqs AT gmail DOT com

       Although I believe I have found everything there is to find in this
game, there is occasionally the possibility of some super secret level in an
obscure game that was never found because it was too obscure, or the like. If
you have anything that you feel needs to be includes, feel free to email me at
gammabetaalphafaqs AT gmail DOT com

       If you have any other information to contribute or notice any errors,
again, shoot me a notice at gammabetaalphafaqs AT gmail DOT com

       If you wish to host this guide, or use information from it, consider the
FAQ semi-public domain: you can host it without asking and derive information
from it word-for-word if you wish, but keep the document unchanged if hosting it
and give credit where due if using information
