The player will play for three games per set before competing with the other two winners of the other set. 8. The final round is also composed of three games where the scores will also be added to determine the winners. 9. Players may write as many words as he/she can following the rules. 10. Words questioned by the other player/s must be checked using a dictionary by the facilitator. 11. Emphasis: The created words must be atleast 3 letters. Plural or any derived form of a word counts as separate points. Example: “Goat & Goats” or “chew, chews & chewed” Players can write any word from the English Dictionary and use any form of tense. Besides, players are also allowed to write words within another word. For example, players can write 'water' and 'ate.' They will be counted as two different words. However, players cannot write proper nouns such as America or London, words in other languages and abbreviations, heightened words, or contractions. During checking, after each player will say/show one word they have written, and all the players who have written the same word must cut it out. That way, players will be left with only unmatched words, and no two players shall have the same word. The point system of Boggle is as follows: 3 Letters = 1 point 4 Letters = 2 point 5 Letters = 3 points 6 Letters = 4 points 7 Letters = 5 points 8 (Or More) Letters = 10 points Neither the cubes nor the grid may be touched when the timer runs. Multiple meanings of the same word do not earn multiple credits. The same word a player finds in different areas of the grid may not be counted for multiple credits. The "M" and the "W" have a line under them. The letter “Z” also has a line under it and should not be seen as the word “IN.” Common words tend to be found by more than one player. Therefore, if your words are unique and unusual, they are more likely to earn you points. Chess 1. There will be two players per grade level (1 male and 1 female) for Junior High School.
