Babble is an online, competitive version of the parlor game Boggle, played in 24-hour rounds against the entire Internet. Boggle is a word game that challenges you to make words from lettered dice shaken and randomly arranged in a grid. I find in incredibly addictive; my family plays interminable, fiercely competitive Boggle games on holidays, late into the night, with much posturing, loud objections, and friendly acrimony. The Internet version is a little less ferocious, but it's still addictive; I just glanced at it and then it was ten minutes later and I'd scored 212 points.

Update Alex sez, "A "more ferocious" internet-edition of boggle is available here, using xmlhttprequest for real-time Massively Multiplayer Online Boggling. It's easy to get sucked in to trying just one more game. Also, no registration is needed."
