Boggle Cup Challenge

At a recent missionary potluck I saw this cup... If you're familiar with the game Boggle you'll have an idea of how I strung words together from letters that my eye could connect. How many words can you find?!

Keeping in touch with family far away is important... and I love how we do it creatively (e.g. Skype tattoo or pretzel-making sessions). Latest breaking group activity: Boggle Cup Challenge (via email)!

Lindsay: I wonder what it means that the first word I saw was: brie.

Gabriel: Pie!

Olivia: glib, fief, miel for honey in french and if you read j's backwards. 

Mom (most thorough award): 24 “legitimate” words: brie, nib, tine, brief, tie, jet, pet, rift, fit, net, kin, bin, ken, pen, nifty (if it’s really a “y” and not a “v”), mine, brine, mite, fie, tin, ten, kit, rife, mine. 28 “exotic flow” or foreign words: pie, miel, glib, fief, grin, grim, lien, grief, time, wet, ire, glib, kiln, few, rip, pin, dine, lie, dim, mire, met, fire, lire, lift, met, tire, lei, drift, pine.

Then Olivia raised the ante to writing POEMS with the words!

Michael:

mine brie & miel tin,

dine time!

lift tine...

lift grief, lift ire!

grin, drift, lie... :)

pie.

Ronit (honorary family member), doing haiku:

Mine nifty pet tie

met few glib mite (drift lift rift)

ten pine, ken mine, brine

Sarah:

Ode to an Airplane Dessert

Mine pie, fire met...

dine I, in a jet.

Olivia:

The brie was brief and full of brine.  

Baked in a kiln with fire of pine,

we ate it off of a tin tine

we left our grim and our grief to dine!

 by the dim fire, Sarah played her lire

we felt our mire lift drift and tire.

Fie! rife broke out over the jet pen nib, what a fit! Mine mine mine!

the tie of kin fixed the rift

and it was time to dine dine dine
