Many variants of Boggle exist, including Big Boggle, which has 25 letter cubes in a 5×5 array. [[Series/TicTacDough Wink]] [[{{Series/Debt}} Martindale]] adapted Boggle for his [[{{Creator/Freeform}} Family Channel]] interactive game show block in 1994[[note]]The block also contained an adaptation of ''TabletopGame/TrivialPursuit'', a list-oriented ''Shuffle'' and a magazine word game ''Jumble''[[/note]]. Four contestants would try to find words on a 3×4 Boggle board, locking in their answers with a telephone keypad built into their podium. The low scorer was eliminated after each round, and the scores reset; the one one who won round 3 would win a trip and a nice prize to go along with it. It was one of the more successful shows of the block, running from March 17 to November 18, 1994.

* ScoringPoints: All three main variants have the same point values. Three- and Four- letter words are worth 1 point each, Five-letter is 2 pts., Six-letter is 3 pts., Seven-letter is 5 pts., and Eight- letter words and longer are worth 11 pts. The game ends either by reaching 50 or 100 points (by "tournament" rules) or at whatever limit the group agrees.
