Boggle!

From the archives:

I'm the king of Boggle, there is none higher. I get eleven points on the word "quagmire".

Source: Beastie Boys' song Putting Shame in Your Game off of the album Hello Nasty.

Explanation: Only the Beastie Boys would have a lyric about Boggle. And under normal Boggle rules (I just double checked them), you get 11 points for a word with eight or more letters. Even though "Qu" is on one tile, you still get a point for each letter.

Special Blog Bonus: Give it a go! You get three minutes. See the answers by looking here and then scrolling down.

Revisiting "Duck, Duck, Goose"

...duck, duck, duck, duck, GOOSE!!!

Explanation: At a family game night this weekend, my four year old nephew asked to play "Duck, Duck, Goose" and we obliged. It turns out to be a much more interesting game when six of the seven participants are above age 28.
