Bogli is played by 2 or more players sitting around the same table. In the middle of the table a mobile or tablet shows the Bogli board. Everyone has a pen and paper and the goal is to write down as many words as you can find on the board.

You find words by starting with any letter and connect more letters to a word by going to adjacent letters (diagonal letters count as adjacent). Each letter tile can only appear once per word.

When the time is up every player gets points for the words that they have found, and that no other player has found. So if two (or more) players has found the same word no one gets points for that word.

One by one, the players read out all of their found words, and if any other player also has that word they say "scratch", and all players must scratch that word.

To be valid, words must exist in a (pre-decided) dictionary (e.g. SAOL for Swedish), and must be in their base form. If a player reads out a word that isn't "scratched" by another player, any player can request that the word should be verified with the dictionary. If the word is invalid the player who read out the word gets -1 point.

Players can choose not to read out words even if they have written them down. And similarly players can choose to not say "scratch" when another player reads a word that they also have written down, if they no longer believe that the word is valid, and they want to force a dictionary check.

Only words with 4 or more characters count (for boards smaller than 5x5 one can lower this limit to 3 characters). Different word lengths score different points:
