Challenge your friends to a word duel on this classic board game for iOS and Android. The goal in Boggle With Friends is to list down as many words as you can form from a grid of randomly generated letters. You earn points depending on the letters you used and their location on the grid. The only restriction is that the letters you use have to be linked. You can’t just use letters from all over the grid. The pressure will build up as your try to compete with your friends in coming up with more words. Gain the upper hand by relying on our Boggle With Friends tips and tricks!
1. Train Your Eyes
The secret to winning in this game is to be able to spot words quickly. During your first few grids, you might be lost and find yourself with only a couple of four-letter words. That is perfectly normal. As you play more games, you will get used to spotting words faster because you will see patterns emerge from the scattered letters. Just keep looking at the board and focus on picking up as many words as you can.
2. Develop A System
You can avoid getting overwhelmed by the randomness of the letters by developing a system for spotting words. There is no standard rule for looking for words so just go with whatever is comfortable for you. For example, you can try looking words starting from the top of the grid then slowly make your way down. Once you have a system, stick to it. Using the same system habitually will help you create words faster after practicing a few times.
3. Mind Your Numbers
The game will automatically score the words you form so you don’t have to worry about computing for them. What you do need to worry about is how you will score more points. As soon as the grid appears, list down as many words as you can. When you are comfortable with the number of words you have, you can start focusing on high-scoring words with the remaining time. Try to think of words that use those rarer letters to get more points for each word.
4. Build Your Vocabulary
Your best friend for any word game is the dictionary. Try to learn words that are not commonly used. Playing uncommon words means there is a good chance your friends would not have those words on their list. Try going for technical words or slang. Any word is good as long as it can be found in the English dictionary.
5. Go For Gold
Once you have a good grasp of the game and how to score higher, you might want to participate in tournaments. These tournaments are played the same way as normal games but you will be competing with players from all over the world. Join any of the various tournaments and see how your skills fare against some of the best global competitors in the game.
Spend hours of competitive fun with your buddies in Boggle With Friends! Just follow the tips and tricks above to give yourself an edge.
How do you get more tokens without buying them
Love playing this game and yes, it does take time! One thing I am very disappointed with is the pop up ads. Some adds run blank screens ! I have to totally log out to continue playing! Can’t ya fix this????
How are the pink tickets to be used?
The pink tickets are to be used in competition challenges. I like these games but they take quite some time to load up in other words getting all the people to the table at the same time.
Also want to know what the pink tickets are for?
Yea! What are the pink tickets for? I have over 5000 of them! What use are they to me?
Pink tickets are used when you play tournaments. Playing in tournaments gives you the possibility of winning power ups
These new levels added to game recently are disappointing. The awards are not posting to the account, etc. I have hit the level 30 like 3 times and next time I play I am back to level 27 or such. With none of the extra tokens posted!!
I’ve never seen anyone ever talk about how to replenish your token supply. I know of a safe method of doing so. On IOS, I just delete and reinstall the game, it will give you another “Match of the Day” competitor so you can receive 3 free tokens.
You don’t even have to uninstall and reinstall. If you have android, you can All you have to do is go to your settings on your phone, go to apps, go to Boogle With Friends, and hit “Clear Data” also go ahead and hit “clear cache” while you’re at it. This goes for any app that you want to use as if you just downloaded it. That saves you the time of having to download all over again.
Why do people hide their scores and how are they doing that?
Scroll down to where it says “play someone new”. Over to the right is the settings symbol that looks like a sprocket. Press that and its the second option with the checkbox
How the heck do I get the regular games started with the new format??? The tournaments now have a countdown but the regulars have no start button
I have been playing this game in different iterations for years This game is maddening since a word like say (jet) might score higher than shades Also at times my opponent and I create the same word and get different scores The scoring a word is maddening
A score for the same word may be different because one player played it using a bonus letter and the other player did not. It took me a while to figure that out. eg I play CARS using an S that is double word. But other player plays CARS using a different S tile that has no bonus.
What do you use tokens for? As much as I google for the answer I’m getting nowhere. Thanks!
You can get a new match of the day as many as four times maybe more. You don’t have to go through all that trouble. Just check back in a couple hours.
I wish I knew. That’s why I checked this site! I will keep checking in case there is a reply!
Boggle says one ticket for a tournamet, but takes random amounts. I had 8 tickets, it took 1 when I started, but took the other 7, when I lost! I’m sick of this! They want me to buy tickets! Forget it!
The daily quest on my boggle with friends app disappeared! I deleted the app and reinstalled. I powered off my phone and turned it back on. Neither worked. Any suggestions?
My vision and inspiration words now all start with “A” so I’ll get “ale” “ah” “air” (not helpful) — while my opponent gets high point words. It tips the scale for sure. How do I fix that? I have asked and they said restart the app, which I have. Does anyone else get only words starting with the letter “a”?
yes my words all start with A unless there isn’t an a to use
What does the new flare do? I used it once and have no idea what it did.
I have a bunch of power ups listed in my inventory but I don’t know how to use them. Are they only for tournaments or should I be able to access them in regular games?
Jmos,
You can use the power ups in your inventory on regular games, tournament games, and the daily challenge game. For example: the daily challenge game. Here’s what I do in this exact order…
1. Choose “play now” where it says “Daily challenge” from the main screen
2. Next screen tells you about the daily challenge rules….click the “PLAY’ button
3. Next screen allows you to choose your power ups. Please see the note below on the various power-ups.
NOTE: there are two types of power-ups. There are regular power-ups and mega power-ups. With the REGULAR power ups you have different types of power ups (FREEZE, INSPIRATION, SPIN, VISION, BLAZE) and you can choose up to three REGULAR power-ups. When choosing these power-ups you get to use 1 power up and it is FREE. If you want to use the other two power-ups they will cost you coins to buy. In regards to the MEGA power-ups there are only three types of power-ups (MEGA FREEZE, MEGA INSPIRE, MEGA BLAZE) and you can only choose up to two mega power-ups. These power-ups are not bought. In other words they do not cost you coin. The catch is that you will accumulate these by coming back everyday and collecting the daily reward. I think it is after 5 or 6 days you get a mega reward and this is usually a MEGA power up. This gets saved into your inventory until you use it.
With all that explained here is how you can use them in a game.
4. Assuming you are still on the page from step #3. On this page you will see (the letter B that looks like a coin)…next to it will be a number and this number is how many coins you have. If you look to the right in that “line” you will see 3 pictures of power-ups…these are your MEGA power-ups. Next to each power-up picture is a number on how many of that type of power-up you have accumulated in your inventory. Now below that line you will see bigger picture/icons of the power-ups. The first line says the word “power-ups” and shows the pictures/icon of those REGULAR power-ups (the ones that will cost you coin). If you touch one of these icons, then it will show up on the screen in the empty dotted circles (3 of those). You don’t have to use all three just so you know. Now below the empty dotted circles is a line that says, “MEGA POWER-UPS” and below that are the mega power-up icons. These Mega power-ups are only available if you have some in your inventory. If you want to use those MEGA power ups then you touch the icon you want and it will show up below in one of the empty dotted circles (note that there are only 2 circles which means you can only use 2 MEGA POWER UPS. After you made all you regular power-up and mega power-up choices then at the bottom of the page you click “PLAY” and you game will start. As far as playing in a person to person challenge, tournament, or daily challenge, the same pages of power up choices will be there.
5. Lastly, if you accidentally choose a power up you didn’t want and before you hit play, you can get rid of it by touching the icon that showed up in the empty dotted circle. I hope that makes sense. If not, then touch different buttons EXCEPT PLAY and you will see power-ups added and taken off depending where you touch the icon.
Good luck and I hope this helped.
After a match, therebis a list of words you got, your opponent got and you both got. Occasionally there is a little red leaf? Fire? Symbol beside a word listed. What does that symbol mean? Why does it mark certain words?
