47 "Secret" Letter Squares. . . I list below a group of 47 "secret" letter squares. These are groups of words that all use the same four letters (with a few 5-letter words included). What are they good for? you may well ask. Well, if you're addicted to Boggle, which I am, then having these "letter squares" memorized gives you three, four, or even five, six or seven words for the price of one.
I can see you're still confused. Well, to be more specific, when you're playing Boggle, or any Boggle-based wordgame -- Babble, Bookworm, Scramble, Wordsplay, whatever -- and you see one of these words in a cluster on the grid, then, in most cases, you can get all the words in the group in one fell swoop. (Okay, some of these games don't accept some of these words. No matter. Don't try to remember which game will take which words; just type 'em all as fast as you can.)
Of course, in a perfect game, the four letters will appear in a perfect 2x2 square, but in many cases you can still make all the words even if the letters appear in a 1x2x1 cluster, or some other pattern. As long as they're all together.
Those of you who have played Boggle with me will be shocked that I'm revealing one of my secret strategies. Don't be. This is just
one of my strategies and it's not all that secret. I have plenty other strategies that I'm not going to share. 8-)
I have arranged each group starting with the word that I tend to find the most often, followed by less common words, and then the least familiar words at the end of each group. Enjoy!
