One option was to compute statistics on random boards. Another is to hunt for the holy grail of Boggle: the highest possible scoring Boggle board. The next few posts will be devoted to the search for this board. [...] [...] Last time, we completed a board solver that could score 10,000 boards per second. So what to do with all that power?
