Octoword
A word-finding game in the spirit of Boggle, played on an octagon instead of a grid. Eight letters sit around the edge and one in the middle. The middle letter touches all eight, which makes it the most useful tile on the board.
How to play
- Link touching tiles to spell a word of three letters or more.
- The middle tile touches all eight outer tiles.
- Pick a 2, 3 or 5 minute round.
- Longer words score more.
Is it like Boggle?
Yes. It uses the same idea of linking neighbouring letters, with a different board shape.
