Boggle was invented by Alan Turoff in 1972. It was most famously published by Parker Brothers, which is now a Hasbro board game.

Boggle includes a special cube for the letter “Q” that is represented as “Qu” since “Q” is almost always followed by “U” in the English language. In Boggle, “Qu” counts as two letters instead of one, despite being on a single cube.

With 16 dice arranged in a 4×4 grid, there are millions of possible Boggle word combinations.

The name Boggle comes from the standard English word, which originates from Bogle, meaning “goblin” or “specter.”

There is also a version of Boggle for children called Boggle Jr., designed to help young kids develop their spelling and vocabulary skills.

The longest possible Boggle words include inconsequentially, quadricentennials, and sesquicentennials.
