I’ve been meaning to check out Babble for a while now, but today is the first day that I’ve actually tried to play. The game is billed as a combination of Boggle and Scrabble, but it’s really just Boggle with different point values for each letter. It’s actually quite an improvement over Boggle. Anyone who has played will know that using certain letters is harder and getting more points for harder letters just makes sense.
The interface is really slick and easy to navigate. Anyone can create a login and play for free, and there are a few additional features available for a one time fee including an improved stats page. But the free version of the game is in no way crippled, which is nice.
Perhaps the major difference from Boggle is that you have all day to find as many words as you can. And there’s a leaderboard that lists all players in order of score at the end of the day, as well as players’ average score over time.
For people who love word puzzles, Babble is definitely work a look.
