Beat Me at Boggle

A daily game of Boggle played against one identified person rather than the internet. Ava plays each board herself, then hands you the same sixteen letters the following day and you try to out-score her.

1. Open the day's board and start the three-minute clock.
2. Build words from touching tiles: horizontal, vertical and diagonal neighbours all count, and no tile can be reused inside the same word.
3. Submit each word. The ones that count collect in a list beside the board.
4. Keep hunting until the clock hits zero. The total you finish on is what gets weighed against Ava's.

Three minutes, one grid, one named human who played the same letters yesterday and left a score behind. That framing is the whole point: you are not chasing a global leaderboard, you are trying to beat Ava. It suits people who already enjoy anagram hunting and want a benchmark with a face on it. It suits nobody who wants to sit and think, because the countdown is the game, and nobody who plays in scattered catch-up sessions, since there is no archive and a missed board is gone. There is no account, no streak, and by the author's own admission nothing to win.

The clock in the corner of the board is the pressure, counting the three minutes down while your accepted words stack up in the panel beside the grid.

Fair fight

An optional setting in the game's options, switched off by default.

• Start the three-minute clock and submit words as you find them, accepted words collect while time runs, so speed and frequent submissions keep your findings safe as the clock counts down.
• Remember tiles may be linked horizontally, vertically or diagonally, and you cannot reuse a tile in the same word, trace each path carefully to avoid invalid entries.
• Use Ava's posted score as your target: she plays the day's grid first and you get the same sixteen letters the following day, so comparing against her number is the point of the game.
• There is no archive or account: missed boards are gone, so play the board on the day it appears if you want the chance to beat Ava.
• The site provides a separate word checker/solver linked from the home page; those tools are not part of the daily board but can be used for practice.
