Another Boggle Contender

As an addendum to our Play Boggle Online overview of free online Boggle games, we can suggest that if you enjoy these word games, you also take a look at Boggled.org.

What’s Good

Boggled has an interesting feature that the others do not; it determines how common or uncommon a word is and gives you more points as you find rarer words. Nice touch.

The statistics for registered users are also interesting. Games played, total points, average score, average words, most words in a game, highest score, best word, longest word, etc. are all tracked.

The hall of fame shows the top 100 users ranked by total number of words found.

What’s Not So Good

Monetizing free online game sites is what keeps them free. On the other hand, Boggled needs to address some flashing and resizing issues caused by the integration of ads into their layout.

One other nit is that there are one too many clicks to get to a new game. When a game is over there should be a minimum of effort to play again. Incidentally, Weboggle does this very well.

Overall

Boggled.org has a few rough edges that can be cleaned up, but actually is not too bad. Recommended.
