Never! Abort!

I have to say that my favorite part of this post is the little message spelled out by your tags. Hee!

[benchilada]

Thanks! At least I always kick her butt at Boggle...

[demon59]

Boggle, or Big Boggle?
Going from a 4X4 grid to a 5X5 grid really opens up the game.

I, too, am far better at Boggle than Scrabble. Big Boggle, Little Boggle, it doesn't matter. We should have a Boggle-off sometime.

That big slab of letters in the top right... o_O

You be smarts peoples.

[benchilada]

Yeah, we were quite impressed with ourselves over that...

Is that one of those boards that holds the tiles in place? Those are neat, I want one.

[benchilada]

AND it's on a lazy susan thingie...

[primavera]

Gahh.. board game envy.

At first (seeing "amen," "lord," and..."morel"--heavenly mushrooms?--on the board) I thought this was going to be some sort of commentary on religion. That would have been an interesting way to do it. :P

I too am highly impressed with the crossword-like nature of the upper right corner.

Also...as, sadly, I am not a Scrabble aficionado (either that, or my ancient set didn't come with them), could you explain the blank tiles to me? At first I thought perhaps they were there to not continue a word (sort of like the black spaces on a crossword puzzle--they're there because the word ended and a new word is starting). Then I realized, in one case, you *needed* the tile to complete the word; otherwise the adjacent word couldn't be. I'm confused. But it is early in the morning for me.

Blank tiles count as zero points, but when they're put down, the person who used it declares what letter it is, and it stays in play as that letter. :)
