Problem description

Create a web-based solver for Boggle. Users should be able to enter their boggle "board" into the webapp and retrieve a list of matching words.

Rules

• 16 letter cubes
• 4 x 4 grid
• Goal: have the highest point total
• To gain points: create words from randomly assorted letters in the cube grid.
  • The longer the word, the higher the point value of it.webapp
  • Words should be created using adjoining letters - horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
  • Words can be spelled in any direction, including backwards
  • Can't use a letter cube multiple times on the same word.
  • Any word found in a standard English dictionary is permissible, except nouns (people or places)
• Multiple meanings of the same word do not earn multiple points
• Variations of spelling for a word are counted as individual words
• Plural and singular words are separate, and should both be written and scored if they can be created.
