End of the Boggle Project



It is finished. 4-hours-plus later, we have at least one 17-letter word.

I'm interested in finding out the maximum score of a board that would yield this word, now. Good thing there are programs for that one, already... I think. However, I will pronounce this project "finished", with the word "quadricentennials".
