Boggle Solver

List every word you can trace on a Boggle-style letter grid through adjacent cells, scored by length, with no cell reused per word.

Type your grid, one row per line, then press Solve.

About this tool

The Boggle Solver finds every valid word you can trace across a grid of letters by hopping between neighbouring cells. Type your grid — one row per line — and it walks all eight directions from every cell, following the adjacency rules of Boggle and word-grid games, never reusing a cell within a single word. Each word it finds is listed with its Boggle score so you can prioritise the highest-value finds.

All of the searching runs locally in your browser with a dictionary loaded once on the page, so your grid stays private. Under the hood it builds a prefix index limited to the letters actually in your grid, which lets it prune dead-end paths early and solve a 4×4 or 5×5 board almost instantly. You can raise the minimum word length to hide short words, and copy the full answer list with one click. Multi-letter cells such as 'qu' are supported — just type them as a single cell.

Scoring follows the classic Boggle table by word length: three- and four-letter words are 1 point, five letters 2, six letters 3, seven letters 5, and eight or more letters 11. The dictionary is a public-domain English word list, so it is broad and great for practice and puzzles, though a few very modern or borrowed words (qi, za, xu, zydeco) may be missing and some archaic entries may appear.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enter the grid?
Type one row per line, for example four lines of four letters for a 4×4 board. You can write the letters solid (tape) or space-separated (t a p e). Any square grid of 2×2 or larger works, including 5×5.
What are the adjacency and reuse rules?
From each cell a word may continue to any of the up-to-eight neighbouring cells — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — and no cell may be used more than once in the same word, exactly as in Boggle and most word-grid games.
How is scoring calculated?
By word length using the standard Boggle scale: 3–4 letters = 1 point, 5 = 2, 6 = 3, 7 = 5, and 8 or more = 11. The summary shows the total score if every listed word were found.
How do I handle a 'Qu' die?
Type the two letters together as one cell, e.g. a row 'euqm' where you intend a single Qu cell can instead be entered space-separated as 'e u qu m'. The solver treats a multi-letter cell as one square contributing all its letters.
