Adding Bogglers to Your Web Page

Do you like a good brainteaser? Bogglers.com (at — you guessed it — www.bogglers.com) comes from the same folks who brought you the RiddleNut.com site. Like riddles, brainteasers are cool additions to any site. But brainteasers offer a different sort of amusing exercise than riddles do. Riddles, after all, come in a particular form in which the answer is usually disguised in the way the question is phrased. Bogglers, on the other hand, are word games, plain and simple, and they mostly depend on the graphical placement of words or the arrangement of letters. Often, the answer is a wonderfully terrible pun.

What, for example, is the meaning of PODIVEOL or UGOME? If you can’t figure them out, drop in to the Bogglers.com Web site and run through the brainteasers until you find the answers — I’d never spoil your fun by telling you. (What’s that? You say that I told you the answers to the riddles, so why not give you these answers, too? Oh, all right. Here they are: “dive in pool” and “you go before me.” Still, it’s worth your while to go to the site and browse through the tons of brain food that you’ll find.)

Better yet, slap a Boggler on your own site and play with it there. You’ll see what a blast it is, and appreciate how much your visitors will like it. Adding Bogglers to your site is even simpler than adding a riddle — just follow these steps:
