Wouldn't it be cool to have a Boggle set made with the characters in the International Phonetic Alphabet?

ɸʉʙɐɹ!

d and I were just considering all of the vowel sounds that could go between n and t in English. There's a lot of them.

I do understand that - I'm a linguist by profession, and use the IPA in my everyday work, hence my claim. :)

OK, you would indeed wipe the floor with me. I am very good at plain old Boggle, but despite my interest in linguistics I can't read IPA. Maybe we could alternate phonetic and spelling.

By the way, I nominate you to supply appropriate IPA dice for Boggle. Then we'll figure out who wants to write the Boggle implementation. Then we make a Facebook app out of it. Actually, it could be genuinely useful for learning IPA...

I've been meaning to learn the IPA (just for kicks) for a while.

This would make a fun tool for that, along with these guys. There just ain't enough hours. :)
