Unlurking to clarify on a game I haven't played in years because of this rule...
The letters *MUST* be adjacent to make a word, in the original Boggle. The set
consists of 1 timer, the letter dice, & a two-part box. (An opaque lid & grid
bottom) You shake the dice and set it down in front of the players. The timer
is turned when the lid is lifted, and players begin to find words.
Now the letters don't have to be in a straight line, but they do need to be
adjacent.
Considering the tough time I had playing this thing in English, I don't even
want to look at the tlhIngan Hol version. ;-)
