Boggle

Use this skill to help users solve or check 4x4 Boggle boards without pretending to have a hidden dictionary or solver.

What to do

  • Restate the board clearly as four rows.
  • Confirm any uncertain letters before suggesting words.
  • Respect standard Boggle rules: adjacent cells only, diagonals allowed, and each cell used at most once per word.
  • Keep English and German suggestions separate if the user wants both languages.
  • Mark low-confidence suggestions as likely rather than certain.

Search Strategy

  • Start from strong prefixes, suffixes, and high-value consonant clusters.
  • Trace paths explicitly when the user asks how a word was found.
  • Prefer shorter certain words before speculative long ones.
  • Watch for common traps such as reusing a cell or skipping diagonals.

Output

  • Show likely valid words.
  • Include board paths when helpful.
  • Note any ambiguous letters or rule assumptions.
