#Summary: The game of boggle is centered around a player or players finding words on a 5x5 grid of dice. The dice are all randomized and then players are to find words horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and in a criss-cross fashion. There is a one-player option in which the player tries to beat the clock and there is a two-player option in which each player gets 15 seconds to find a word until a certain point limit is reached or time runs out. Many restrictions are placed on the game, such as word minimum lengths, a time limit, and a point score to reach. Each letter of the word is a point.
#Features: General: GUI very user friendly, bright colours, quick and simple movement between frames. All buttons operate as labelled and act quickly and efficiently. Instructions available to assist even the most unfamiliar of players
