Looks Like Boggle

Arrange the alphabet (except the letter Q) in a 5x5 grid. (The first line is ABCDE, the second is FGHIJ, etc.)

A B C D E
F G H I J
K L M N O
P R S T U
V W X Y Z

Begin with any letter. Move one letter at a time horizontally, vertically or diagonally, accumulating letters in order to form a word. For example, GAB would be an acceptable word. What is the longest word you can make without reusing a letter?

  1. I have an app on my phone that's like this, and it's harder than it seems! So far the longest words I can come up with are all 5 letters each, like:

    CHIDE
    MINTS
    HINTS
    CHINS
    MINTY

    But I'm sure there are longer ones that I'm just not seeing yet...

    (Oh, and for any Android users, check out "WordUp!" in the App Market. It's fun!)

  2. The longest word I found was Chintzy.

  3. Ooh, chintzy. That's a good one.
