The One With Boggle
** this blog has been flooded with Little Faeq's story for the pass few weeks.. *wink* lemme change the topic for a while **
I'm sure most of you familiar with Scrabble or Monopoly but have u ever played Boggle ??
When Shariza was pregnant, we hardly went out for movies, bowling etc as we normally did before.. We had our indoor entertainment instead.. Bought few games which can stimulate our brain as well as baby thinking habits (:P), namely Upwords (played just a couple of time and got bored with it), Mastermind (aaa I love this game eversince I was a kid) and of course Boggle..
There are 16 letter cubes, times 6 faces for every cube = 96 letters altogether ('Qu' counts as one).. However letter B and J only appear once and printed on the same cube, which mean no matter how you shake the rack up, you wont get the word 'JOB' or 'BABE' or 'BOOBS'.. same goes with letter K and F.. again, no matter how well u shake, there is zero possibility of you getting the word 'FiretrUCK'.. brilliant eh?

There is one interesting fact about this game Boggle, which I found out few months back, but too busy to share with you..
Boggle® Game by Parker Brothers
Boggle is the 3-minute fast paced word search game that everyone in the family plays at once. It spells fast family fun for all ages! Shake up the 16 letter cubes, remove the dome, and GO! Try to find as many words of three or more letters as you can in 3 minutes. Form words by joining letters up, down, side-to-side and even diagonally. The longer and more unusual the words the higher your score. Families will learn this game in seconds, but enjoy playing for hours. For 2 or more players.
