| Shade_Jon | 8 | | | Hard to play with adults unless the kids can make three letter words and the adults have to stick with four letter words. If so, my kids have loved it. |
| The Unbeliever | 8 | 8 | Yes | Great for young readers/spellers to practice their skills. |

| wkusau | 7 | 8 | Yes | Really best with similar age kids. You can handicap older kids. |

| cindy | 5 | 8 | Some | As other reviewers have mentioned, the game does not scale well. Some sort of handicap is needed for adults and older children. |

| petegrey | 5 | | | Not a bad game. Not a great one either. What this game will do is teach about vocabulary and seeing patterns and working under pressure. |
| Randy Cox | 5 | | | I love it with adults only, but it does not scale well. When I have played it with a youngster thrown in (though they were quite competent), they just cannot keep up. |
| shumyum | 4 | | | This really does not work well with pre-teen kids. The (good) adults will blow them away and it just will not be fun. If all kids are playing, I suppose it would be a different matter, but it is not exactly the flashiest of games. Shade_Jons suggestion sounds good...I will have to try it. |
| Ed the Red | 3 | | | As mentioned by others, it's no fun to actually play this with a mixed group. I have used it as an encouragement to learning words/ learning to spell by getting the kids to see what words they can make in a non-competitive way. But as a game, it's not that great until the children are way over the minimum age quoted above. Even very literate, very intelligent young teenagers struggle against their parents/grandparents in our family (though the adults in my family are all pretty good at this sort of game, so this may not be a typical experience).
As an aside, one of my favourite moments in this game was a young nephew (aged about 3 I think, but it was a long while ago) who was desperate to join in with a game of Boggle staring at the board for the three mins before announcing that the only word he could spell was cat but he couldn't see it there! |
| erik2point0 | 3 | 8 | Some | Suffers from most of the problems of scrabble for kids (spelling, vocabulary) although they can sometimes see some convoluted paths through the letters. |
