+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The object of
+.Nm
+is to find as many words as possible on the Boggle board within the three
+minute time limit.
+A Boggle board is a four by four arrangement of Boggle cubes, each side of
+each cube displaying a letter of the alphabet or `qu'.
+Words are formed by finding a sequence of cubes (letters) that are in the
+game's dictionary.
+The (N+1)th cube in the word must be horizontally,
+vertically, or diagonally adjacent to the Nth cube.
+Cubes cannot be reused.
+Words consist solely of lower case letters and must be at least 3 letters long.
+.Pp
+Command line flags can be given to change the rules of the game.
+.Bl -tag -width boardspec
+.It Fl b
+Run
+.Nm
+in batch mode.
+A
+.Ar boardspec
+must also be given.
+The dictionary is read from stdin and a list of words appearing in
+.Ar boardspec
+is printed to stdout.
+.It Fl d
+Enable debugging output.
+.It Fl s Ar seed
+Specify a seed
+.Ar seed
+other than the time of day.
+.It Fl t Ar time
+Set the time limit for each game from the default 3 minutes to
+.Ar time
+seconds.
+.It Fl w Ar length
+Change the minimum word length from 3 letters to
+.Ar length .
+.It Ar +
+This flag allows a cube to be used multiple times, but not in succession.
+.It Ar ++
+This flag allows the same cubes to be considered adjacent to itself.
+.It Ar boardspec
+A starting board position can be specified on the command line by
+listing the board left to right and top to bottom.
+.El
+.Pp
+Help is available during play by typing
+.Sq Ic \&? .
+More detailed information on the game is given there.
+.Sh BUGS
+If there are a great many words in the cube the final display of the words
+may scroll off of the screen.
+(On a 25 line screen about 130 words can be displayed.)
+.Pp
+No word can contain a
+.Sq q
+that is not immediately followed by a
+.Sq u .
+.Pp
+When using the
+.Ar +
+or
+.Ar ++
+options the display of words found in the board doesn't indicate reused cubes.
