Big Boggle is a timed word game where players try to find as many connected words as possible from the revealed letters in a 25-cube grid. Once the timer runs out, players compare their word lists and eliminate any common words. Points are then awarded for the remaining words based on their letter count, and the game uses a 5x5 grid instead of the usual 4x4, with a minimum word length of four letters instead of three.
