I'm Sister Elizabeth Donderstock. You probably know me as the world's most humble purveyor of handmade cheeseballs. I've won the world championships for the past 4 years. I'm sque-amish and live a colorful life full of stories here in Sque-amishville. For example, I have a rivalry with Sister Annika Dinderstock (SAD is what I call her) from the woodworking division of our sque-amish sect. They assigned her to me due to accusations that I was not producing enough of my world famous cheeseballs fast enough. She came up with the brilliant (cough, cough) idea to cross-market my cheeseballs with sque-amish furniture. I refused - because to make cheeseballs in the shape of furniture would require an overabundance of hard cheeses for structural integrity. So SAD showed up at the last world cheeseballs championships with cheeseballs in the shape of stools. With anticipation, I watched as she handed out her samples to the judges. I knew by the looks on their faces that SAD's stool samples tasted like shit.

Hi Sasa! I’m from the Seattle area, specifically Issaquah by the forestlands and goats hence my experience with cheese. We’ve got plenty of nice sights to take in! I’m glad that you can appreciate it too

Hi everyone! I’ve been meaning to do a bit of an introduction. My name is Ethan and I come from Washington. My tag is a Japanese pun based on me being Japanese American.
I work in Christian ministry and am considering pursuing either counseling or becoming a chaplain in the future. Right now though, I’m focusing on writing a book (no plans to publish it) about a list of crazy experiences and testimonies including a few times that I’ve almost died but experienced a miracle after people have prayed over me.
The road to writing this book, even though it will be a limited release, has been long and filled with confronting my own middling sense of confidence. So boggle has been one of my primary hobbies to take some time to think.
I played boggle with my mom for a few years back when I was 12. I knew plenty of niche vocabulary, but back then, it mostly meant no one could understand anything that I was saying. In the game of boggle, I actually had a place to exercise my knowledge.
I played boggle off and on, but it was always difficult to motivate myself since I could never tell how far I had to go before I could say I was “good” at the game. To paraphrase someone else, I don’t know what it means to be strong, but if I find someone else who is strong and I beat them, then I know that I am strong. I’ve met people who say they are good at boggle, but the gap that I left made me feel unsatisfied. Coming here, it feels like I have met the “strong.” So after having won a few tournaments, I wonder now whether I can allow myself to be “strong” or perhaps… even stronger

Hey everyone! I recently got into boggle and found this awesome site. I played wordhunt on gamepigeon for super long and it’s very fun except a lot of my friends aren’t interested in such games so I’m looking forward to playing with you all! I used to play wordscapes and the New York Times Spelling Bee puzzle which was rlly fun. Not too many students like these sorts of games so this is the perfect place to play boggle games and tourneys. Looking forward to having a blast here playing boggle! I live in wonderful California and love the color sky blue/cyan!

moinmoin (or just greetings to those who don't speak my native language) - I'm here now, I guess I just have to be - as it seems to me there isn't an online boggle incarnation yet I haven't registered to. I am form Germany and my favourite bogglesite I was lured away from is Serpentine (although I do frequent Wordsplay too, occasionally). My favourite style of game is the giant 8x8 board with 6letter min where I mostly type away, and that specialty is only available at Serpentine so far. So folks, I am anxious to meet and play with you, look into the details of this site and see if it has to offer something extra to make me stay a bit longer.
Cheers Snap
Ah yes fabourite colour - jazz (as by Ken Nordine)

Howdy, name’s Leo (short for Leonard) and I’m a Leo (7/24). Born and raised in Maryland/Pennsylvania, and have been residing in Florida for about a decade now. Went to university for Secondary Education, dropped out after 2 years…proceeded to work at Target for 4 years, followed by 3 years at a medical cannabis dispensary. Discovered and began playing Boggle last October, and became quickly obsessed with the game…particularly the speed of it all, which I find more satisfying than anything, and will focus on to the detriment of my point totals. It’s one thing if somebody achieves a higher point total than I…but I am competitively amped whenever somebody finds more words than I haha -THE END-

I am Zsuzsanna (surprise!), born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, but later I moved (with husband and kids) to Canada, lived there a while, then moved to the US for a longer while, moving a bit around there, too. I returned to Canada in my retirement, that's where I now live. I have a Chemistry degree from Hungary, but didn't actually work long as a chemist. Moving around tends to make it harder and harder to get good jobs, in my experience - especially if you are also getting older in the meantime. I did a lot of things, from telemarketer to real estate (never sold so much as a birdhouse!) to receptionist; line worker to forklift driver to babysitter/cleaning lady. Finally, I took a pharmacy technician course, and retired from that job in the end. Besides playing Boojum, I also like to play Boggle, Scrabble, Canasta, Chinese Mahjong, and some music (not that I am very good at it), with likeminded people. I knit a lot lately, and my favorite color is blue. I draw a line at having a blue handbag though...

Oh my, favorite color is either blue or red depending on my mood, I am Sarah. I am many things, but the thing I do for money, currently, is teach elementary school. I was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and have lived many places: Athens, Ga, Milwaukee, Wi, and Amsterdam, Netherlands, but mostly in Portland, Or, USA. It always draws me back, for many reasons. Mostly, the people and nature and the belief system that people are to be valued and understood. I get sick often, because little children get every virus imaginable, and they mutate (lil buggers) the viruses, not the children, usually. I went to school (College) for Writing and Film, but was too stubborn to live in the car culture of Los Angeles, so pivoted to teaching animation and then just teaching. I also hated the long days. I wanted to have children who knew me. I am a total europhile, but also I am planning on traveling to Asia next year (if they will have me after all this political ruckus). I am not going for a super long trip, but for a couple weeks. I have, sigh, responsibilities like work and cats with asthma, etc. I am so privileged to be part of such a brilliant group of players!
