Quordy and Wurdle stand out from the crowd of Boggle-inspired games

by Jason Snell, Macworld.com

Pity the poor Boggle enthusiast. While there may be umpteen versions of Sudoku, hot game of the 2000s, at my last count I could find only seven variations on the “classic” (read: really big in the ’80s and on “King of the Hill”) word game in which you form as many words as possible from a random grid of letters.
