Big Boggle is Bigger and More Boggling

Big Boggle was released in 1979, and it is the big brother of the classic Boggle game.

Boggle and Big Boggle are made by Parker Brothers, a division of Hasbro.  Boggle has you form words based upon letter-dice in a 4x4 square container.  Big Boggle is the same thing, but it is in a 5x5.

What makes Big Boggle more mind boggling?

With the standard Boggle, you can "make" 3-letter words, or they can be longer.  You just can't use 1 or 2-letter words.

With Big Boggle, you are not allowed to "make" any words that are shorter than 4 letters, which tends to be a lot harder.  Test your vocabulary some time.  Many people will be surprised at how many 3-letter words pop when they're playing, but they can't use them!

Big Boggle is fun, but it's a little frustrating, too.
