Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Boggle With Friends successfully translates the frantic, tactile energy of the classic 4x4 grid board game into a polished mobile experience. The core loop is addictive: you have two minutes to swipe your way through a jumble of letters, hunting for words that others might miss. What makes this version stand out from its predecessors is the Zynga-fied social layer. Playing against friends or being matched with random opponents in a three-round format adds a layer of competitive tension that solo play just can't match.
The game shines in its variety of modes. If you're tired of the standard 1v1, the live tournaments provide a high-stakes environment where you can see how your vocabulary stacks up against a global player base. The addition of daily challenges and 'Coach' mode helps sharpen your skills without the pressure of a live opponent. Visually, the game is clean and responsive—a crucial factor when you're swiping at high speeds to beat the buzzer. While the inclusion of power-ups and tickets can feel a bit 'freemium' at times, the fundamental word-finding mechanics remain pure and rewarding for any word-smith.

Tips & Walkthrough
In Boggle With Friends, you have 2 minutes to find as many words as possible on a 4x4 grid of letters. Connect adjacent letters (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) by swiping your finger. Each word must be at least 3 letters long. Use power-ups like 'Freeze' to stop the clock or 'Inspiration' to highlight words you missed to gain an edge over your opponent.

Play head-to-head matches over three rounds, where the highest total score wins. Join Live Tournaments to compete against hundreds of players simultaneously in a knockout style. Use the Solo Play mode to practice against the 'Coach,' or engage in the Daily Challenge to earn unique tiles and badges to customize your profile.

Could be better but still enjoy
Mon Apr 12 2021 Momof5kI hate the annoying sounds. HATE them and I can’t play with them off as I need to hear whether I’ve already done that word or messed up on my word. It’s just a thing and I need the sound. They could do away with all the annoying “good”, excellent”, “AMAZING”, though. Also the wasted time at the end of a match having to wait for the scores to scroll up and more annoying sounds. My biggest issue, though, is after all of this time I still can’t figure out how to actually earn coins? I may have 50 today and then 18 tomorrow. I realize I use one to play but do I earn them when I win? I’ve googled for this info and read through the FAQ’s and have not been able to find this info. I don’t have coins appear after a win so I’m just lost! As others have mentioned, it’s also frustrating not knowing if an opponent has used power ups. I personally do not use them. I just want to play the game. I do enjoy this game and it’s way better that scramble with friends that hair always had the same words puzzle after puzzle. I do know I’ve played the same puzzles before in this game but that’s not happened enough to make me want to ditch it.
LOVE IT just a few bugs
Fri Feb 24 2023 GhcjeiI’m in love with this game and despite what the other reviews say I love the sounds! The “good” “excellent” “amazing” “INCREDIBLEEEEE” are so encouraging to me ! but the main problem o have is that for the weekly leaderboard challenges the scores sometimes don’t reset for certain people each day and they carry the score they got from the day before all week and it keeps adding up. Especially during a 20 point per word challenge someone keeps getting scores of 4000 but then the next day the challenge will be every word must stay in the highlighted tiles which honestly no one is getting more than 1300 in those be honest LOL. But then those few people will somehow have their exact same score from yesterday (4000) and it keeps happening for the rest of the week and at the end of the week they have a total score of 28,000 when the rest of us have like 15,000. It’s not a huge deal but I want the satisfaction of knowing I have a chance at winning. I’m certain this is a bug and not these people getting the same score everyday because sometimes someone will keep a score of 2785 each day or 5123 or something random and there’s no way they keep getting the same random number every single day. It’s also usually the same people that have this bug I think it has something to do with doing the challenge right as it’s about to change to the next days challenge
Boggle is fun, but lost in the mess of an app
Tue Jan 18 2022 sdess212It’s Boggle, which is what I wanted but the app itself is just terrible. When I open the app, I can do one singular thing, sometimes 2, before having to restart the app. It doesn’t fully freeze, you can still scroll up and down but you cannot interact with anything. Restarting app will just perpetuate the cycle, which is what I have to do to play. I have deleted and re-downloaded but still have the constant glitches which are what drove this review. -The app/developers do not offer the purchase of an advertisement free version. I would gladly pay a couple bucks to not watch the same ads repeatedly. I would still occasionally watch ads for power ups and coins, but I personally hate the constant ads. -The coin system and power ups are mildly annoying, but designed for micro transactions for people who play like that. -The app is weird to navigate, the friends listed is only people you’ve already played games with, usually just random Smart Match people. I once found a list of friends, started a game from it and I have never been able to find those friends again. -The tournaments are okay, the tickets aren’t really worth it solely, there should be a few power ups or coins in the 1st place prize. Overall, the game of Boggle is fun, but it gets lost in the applications annoying and constant glitches. It’s not going to hurt you guys to bump up all the rewards a bit, and may even get people to spend more money.
Recent downgrades
Mon Aug 17 2020 SilvrwoodWhen I first started playing this game over a year ago I would have given it 4 stars: perfect except for a bug that prevented daily rewards from being enabled some days and then cleared the bonus for not picking up the daily reward, the daily challenge sending me right back into the daily challenge upon finishing, and rarely the game eating my bonuses by crashing upon starting a round but not refunding the used bonuses. While the game has proven more stable in the last 2 or 3 revisions, developers also added a feature which drops my rating to 3 stars. The game now has extremely distracting sound effects and pop-up visuals in the corner of the screen. Visual data design dictates that motion draws the eye, and the eye should not be drawn away from the board in a game that is time-limited and requires focus. Nor should the sound disrupt one's concentration. The developers should instead add a subtle color change to the whole board to notify players that the game is ending soon, thereby accommodating players who have different hearing abilities without distracting players. The great aspects of this game are that between daily challenges, challenging other players, and tournaments, I can play as much or as little as I want, alone or with others. Aside from the aforementioned, the game is appealingly designed.
Buggy App. Awful Customer Service.
Sat Oct 04 2025 skyron71The average 4.5 rating here must be manipulated. Go to the actual reviews and you'll see a string of 1 ands 2 stars. I like the game. But the ads are so numerous you just have to put yourself into a zone so it's not to get frustrated. The app also has bugs that are so frustrating I periodically stop playing because I just can't take it anymore. The worst one is that it cancels winning streaks arbitrarily, taking them to zero even if you've won, say, 40 or 50 games in a row. I've written to the Help function multiple times over many months but they don't fix it even though they keep saying they are "working on it." The helpline itself appears designed to prevent you from getting to a live person. The bot poses questions that are irrelevant and when you answer that you need to communicate with someone, there's no timely response for a long time, so that you can't wait for one. You have to remember to go back a day or two later to see if they responded, otherwise you get an automatic message saying that they "haven't heard from you" and they cancel your request. Even if you do catch a response in time it takes forever to get answers and the answers are always "we're working on it" though nothing ever changes or improves. Meanwhile, they charge a fortune to get the power ups you need to play at an advanced level. Awful.
Make it tolerable
Sat May 02 2020 yoochewsThe negatives that are detailed in thousands of reviews are largely true. That aside, some things can be done to minimize the distractions and irritations. Obviously, playing with your device muted is a must. Regarding the long wait times while ads run, I’ve come to just close the game immediately after playing a round, then open it right up again and the ads are gone. The only exceptions are “Daily Matches.” If you want your 3 coins, you’ll have to endure the interruptions. Lastly, I play with the one free power up and I only want to play against others who do the same. So, if it’s clear that someone plays a different game, block them. It’s a quick fix, and you don’t have to take a loss. (Not that I mind losing, so long as it’s due to a difference in ability). The exception to “not taking the loss” is when your opponent is playing nicely, then zaps you with 145 words in the last round. Not much you can do about that except be glad you’re not so much of a superficial person that you would do the same thing to make your record in a game look more impressive. Well, of course don’t let it happen twice - employ the block.
It kills time, unless you want to play more than 30 mins or so at once
Fri Nov 03 2017 cleomaticUnlike meatworld Boggle, after a year of play, I've concluded that there's just not that much of a variety of words you ever get the opportunity to play in this app. It punishes you for playing "too much" and forces you to buy tickets or coins to keep on playing--or wait it out. I get that they make money off in-app purchases, but you also have to sit through a constant bombardment of ads and there's no option to pay to avoid the ads--some of which force you to click through to the app's download page to get back to playing Boggle. It also watches your web searches and serves up ads by mining your history, often forcing you to click to a web page you've already seen/gotten the info you need. Worst of all, there seems to be no shortage of creepy guys who try and use it as a nerdy dating method, "you're good with making words with your fingers, what else do those fingers do?" I hate it when random strangers get to chat with random strangers they're playing against because this seems to always be where it goes, but at least you can block players. If I didn't have friends who seem to enjoy this app so much, I would love to never see the app version again. And I adore Boggle in the meatworld, so...
Decent game
Thu Aug 01 2019 tomdertI have been playing for several years and find that the game has much to keep it I interesting including the tournaments and daily challenge and new bonuses. However it is riddled with bugs which is very frustrating. The daily challenges do not keep track of rankings despite continued promises. The bonuses are not working and the tournaments sometimes fault out for no good reason. Fix the bugs and it would be an awesome game. Don’t fix them and I will likely give up on the game. The new tournament format is terrible. Too few options and actually fewer rewards despite promises of increased rewards. Also daily challenge still does not track rankings. There has been improvement on faulting out on tournaments but still occurs. Update: Continue to be very disappointed with the tournament play options. Also again the daily challenge does not keep track of rankings the way the older version still does. Getting less and less to keep the interest. The bonus board is pretty much a waste with providing more coins than are really needed rather than give tickets and power plays which are much more useful. Seems developers are more interested in making money than keeping the game interesting.
