3.1 Game Objective

The objective of Boggle is to find as many words as possible from a grid of randomly generated letters within a set time limit. Words are formed by connecting adjacent letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

3.2 How to Play

1. Start a New Game: Press the designated 'New Game' or 'Start' button to generate a new letter grid.
2. Find Words: Observe the letters displayed on the screen. Identify words by tracing a path of adjacent letters. Letters can be connected in any direction (up, down, left, right, or diagonally). Each letter cube can only be used once per word.
3. Enter Words: Use the directional buttons or specific letter input buttons (if available on your model) to enter the words you find. Confirm each word entry with an 'Enter' or 'OK' button.
4. Time Limit: The game typically has a built-in timer. Find and enter as many words as you can before the time runs out.
5. Scoring: After the time expires, the game will display your score. Points are usually awarded based on the length and uniqueness of the words found. Longer words generally yield higher scores.
