The classic word game - to play on your PC! Make words from the jumble of letters and see how many you can do before the time runs out! This game offers 5 variations; 3-minute rounds for quick game play; three artificial-intelligence personalities and skill levels; and it can be played against others over a local Area Network.

Boggle uses a simple point-and-click control interface. Three modes calledClassic Boggle, Space Boggle and In Your Face Boggle only need a left-click to play. Other modes called Breakaway Boggle and Battle Boggle require holding down the right-click button and moving the mouse/pointer.

This game runs in a seperate window which means it could possibly be used with access software such as dwell click software (e.g. Dragger) and on-screen keyboard programs.

Great for playing against other players

You can take turns to play against four other players either human or computer controlled, and this game can also be played over a LAN against others.

Has a simple point and click interface

This game has a simple point and click interface that makes it very easy to get into but mastering it is tough as you need to be good with words! Good game for a headpointer user as it plays in a window rather then a full screen.

Makes you think!

In this game you have to think up as many words as you can, in the time you are given. The letters must be linked together i.e. up, down, across or diagonal. The longer and more unusual the words are the better! This game is really fun to play and it really makes you think!
