Big Boggle box bears best board
I’m really into Boggle these days. And I don’t mean that wussy 4x4 Boggle. No, I’m talkin’ about 5x5 Big Boggle. I know there are several on-line versions available, but nothing beats the fun of playing real people face-to-face, and the shake-shake sound of the cubes in the Boggle board. So I’ve been playing the real world game, and that’s when I noticed the Big Boggle game in progress on the Big Boggle box.
I think that must be the best Big Boggle tray ever. How carefully did they have to plan it? It’s hard to believe such a great tray is even possible by chance alone. There must be tons of great words on that tray. Take a look and see how many you can find. Remember: This isn’t the wussy edition, so to make things extra tough we’re not only disallowing 3 letter words, but 4 letter words as well.
So how many 5-letter or longer words can you find? For an added challenge, limit yourself to just 3 minutes.
I’ll start things off: PREDATING, STEAMERS, BEIGNETS…
And no fair using a computer program to figure it out. Just use your brain.

Damn, kid! That’s a mean list. I especially appreciate “tsetse” and “oblige.” Mad quality points for those. However, I’m skeptical about “bestest” and “deams.”
I will add the following (without repeating singular forms):
RETINAS
FOGIES
STOGIES
SEAMSTER
TEAMSTER
TINGE
TATTERS

SENATES
RESTATED
MANGOS

You’ve seen this, then? “>WEBoggle 5x5 game… Or do you have a free web-based version that’s better? (I’m all ears!)

I always have terrible trouble with comment-related plugins that require me to put some line in the comment loop; I can never seem to find the right spot. Can anyone tell me where I should put the php line in my comments loop? I haven not modified anything much, and I would be very grateful. Thanks!
