Command line flags can be given to change the rules of the game. The + flag allows a cube to be used multiple times, but not in succession. The ++ flag allows the same cubes to be considered adjacent to itself. A seed other than the time of day is specified by -s#, where # is the seed. The time limit can be changed from the default 3 minutes by using the flag -t#, where # is the duration (in seconds) of each game. The minimum word length can be changed from 3 letters by specifying -w#, where # is the minimum number of letters to use.
A starting board position can be specified on the command line by listing the board left to right and top to bottom.
The -b flag puts boggle in batch mode. A boardspec must also be given. The dictionary is read from stdin and a list of words appearing in boardspec is printed to stdout.
Help is available during play by typing `?'. More detailed information on the game is given there.
