Tell us which one do you prefer from the two versions. Whenever I saw boggle on the Internet I also enjoy playing that when I have time for it although having your own at home is the best one out of the PC screen.
I first came to know about and play the "Word Factory" when I was in high school until it really worn out that my parents bought it for us at home. We still played even if it's worn out (put tape over it/rewrite the letter on the dices) with my siblings and some friends when I get to college, it did last long and it's worth mental exercise! I won't not deny my brother who is mentally exercised on his engineering degree could beat me though? I won't forget that bro! My only first experience to win this game when I was having headache and have won 2 gold medals unexpectedly in our school sports fest. Concentration is needed but most of all having fun with "word game" with friends & family!
We are all aware that "Boggle" is the origin of the "Word Factory" version. I like Word Factory better because it has 5x5 grid dices and it is still flexible to play with 3-4 letter word for kids and adult. At long last, I bought my own new one "Word Factory" in the Philippines for about P349.75 worth. Word Factory can have 2-6 players ages 7 to 77 or even older as far as the brain can work! Why not?
Can you form any word below starting 4 letter word?
1. hello
2. pies
3. tries
4. cries

Wikipedia describes "Boggle is a word game designed by Allan Turoff and trademarked by Parker Brothers and Hasbro. The game is played using a grid of lettered dice, in which players attempt to find words in sequences of adjacent letters." In the Philippines, a similar game which was first distributed in 1978 and is still in circulation up to the present is the game "Word Factory." The game was first patented in the Philippines, and is currently being manufactured and distributed to selected retailers by the Philippines-based game manufacturer, 13 P.M. Enterprises. Word Factory was a variation on the version of Boggle as it existed in 1978: using a 5x5 grid instead of a 4x4 one, and using plastic dice instead of wooden ones. At present, the game is being marketed to other countries, targeting mostly migrant Filipino families.
