Boggle is a word game in which players try to find as many words as they can within a set time limit from a grid of lettered dice. The game was introduced in 1973. Allan Turoff invented it, and Parker Brothers originally distributed it. Each player works against the same time limit to find words in the lettered grid. The lead of the source article is brief, so this entry records only what it supports: the word-finding goal, the lettered-dice grid, the time limit, the 1973 introduction, the inventor and the original distributor.
