In scrabble you not only have to decide in advance what is and
what isn't a valid word (for example, by having a dictionary
whose authority will be law) but also a given word must be
known by the one who uses it. The temptation ov inventing new
words is bigger in boggle.
And even though I claim that "color", "colour", and "culer" are one
and the same word, I would allow only one spelling when playing
scrabble or boggle (preferably "color")
Anyway, these games are more "letter games" than "word games". (Maybe
you can learn some spelling while playing scrabble, but I doubt you
can learn any vocabulary)
