Entering your guesses
Once the game starts the text box above the grid becomes editable. This is where you type in your guesses. Press 'Enter' after each word and it will be added to the list of guessed words
Viewing your guesses
All the guesses you enter will be arranged alphabetically and displayed in the box next to the grid. This list will assist you during the game.
When the game is over, these words will be checked for validity and will be classified as under
Extra Time
Boggle is aimed at improving your vocabulary. To that end if you feel excited and involved with a particular board, you can get more playing time for that board. You can extend the time available to you by pressing Ctrl + T at any time during the game.

Managing Users
In case you want to keep scores by different users / moods / phase in your life (you get my drift), you can do so by creating player profiles. You can Add / Remove or Select a particular player from the list.
View Highscores
High scores are maintained by grid size. The absolute score is counted for a high score entry. In addition the percentage achievement against the computer's score is also displayed. The reader will no doubt like to point out the computer's score is by no means the best score and therefore a poor datum. I can only agree with you, but as a second best estimate I could find nothing better. And it is an important metric. Some will argue that it is probably more relevant.
In case you want to play a particular game again you can just select that row and hit the 'Play this game again' button. This might not be fair, but it sure is fun playing those boards where words were flying off your fingers till the time ran out. And who am I to get in the way of that joy.

...Word List
A simple list of words. Since Boggle scrapes the meaning of the online dictionary of your choice, it is susceptible to changes in HTML format of display. [You will be surprised how often that happens]. Once I am sure that I have a sizable user base, I might add an olnine update feature to keep up with the changes
Anagram Solver
The word profile graphs not withstanding, probably the least expected (needed) tool in Boggle is a little anagram solver. Honestly I wrote it in this game because I wanted to have an anagram solver quickly and Boggle had a readily available dictionary that I could leverage. Seemed like a match made in heaven. Have found it useful though.
