Boggle in Excel

As a follow up to my previous post about a Boggle game for iPhone/iPod touch, I'd like to share a recent homework assignment I completed for my Excel VBA class. Our professor asked us to use Excel to simulate the part of Boggle that randomly selects the letters to be used in the game. The result is a macro-enabled Excel file that will generate a "Big Boggle" (5 x 5) board using the actual letters from the Boggle cubes. Click Start to randomly generate a new game and get your Boggle on. (See rules)

Excel 2007 format: Boggle.xlsm (31 KB)

  1. Brian,

    I am going to use this spreadsheet with friends, virtually, to play boggle on zoon. I will be sharing my screen with them. Thanks so much for a stimulating game in these times.
