Travel Wordle

Travel Wordle is a game inspired by the classic word puzzle game Boggle where players try to find as many words as possible within a set of letters. The objective of the game is to find words by connecting adjacent letters in a grid. The twist with Travel Wordle is that the letters are organized into a travel-themed grid, adding a fun and thematic element to the gameplay.

Here's how to play the game:

Setup: Prepare the game components. You will need a grid with letters arranged in a 4x4 or 5x5 pattern, representing different travel-related words. Each player should have a pen and paper to write down the words they find.
Gameplay:
- Players simultaneously start the game and have a set amount of time (usually 3-5 minutes) to find as many words as they can within the grid.
- Words must be formed by connecting adjacent letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Letters in a word must be connected in sequence without repeating the same letter cell in the same word.
- Words must have a minimum of 3 or 4 letters, depending on the rules you choose. Commonly used words or proper nouns may be excluded from the list of valid words.
- Players write down the words they find on their paper.
Scoring:
- After the time is up, players compare their lists of words. Any word that appears on multiple players' lists is crossed out, as it's considered invalid.
- Players take turns sharing their unique words with the group. Each valid word earns the player points based on its length (e.g., 3-letter word = 1 point, 4-letter word = 2 points, 5-letter word = 3 points, and so on).
- The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Variations:
- You can add extra layers of strategy by incorporating thematic elements related to travel. For example, words could be required to have a travel-related theme, or players could be awarded bonus points for finding specific words related to destinations, transportation, or activities.
Word Checking:
- To maintain fairness, use a standard dictionary to check the validity of words. If a word is found to be invalid, it is removed from the player's score.
Multiple Rounds:
- You can play multiple rounds of Travel Wordle, with different letter grids and themes for each round. The player with the highest total score after all rounds is the overall winner.
