I'm not really sure this kind of game is suited for the whole "10 seconds" thing... 10 seconds is way to little time to sometimes even find one word :P It's got a nice look to it, though :) Btw, if you enter a game in the compo, you have to give a link to the source code :)
Wow, that's harder than you'd think it would be. I liked it! I would've liked a smaller grid, and the ability to click&drag, but pretty fun regardless.
Kinda fun! Didn't get any scores though, so maybe I did something wrong (or I missed something in the explanation).

Okay, on my third play I found out that you double click the last letter to get the points. It's a pretty nice concept for a game. Although 10 seconds isn't enough scan-time to find and click through longer words. I found myself limiting to 6 letters or less, but, such is the limitation of the theme here.
Some click sounds, confirmation yays and a tutorial / instructions would have helped me to get more into the game out but I can see this game becoming a lot more playable post-compo, good game!
The stress of the ten seconds add a new dimension to this kind of game. You should write somewhere that the double click is validating the word, without Refreshcreations I guess I would have never found it.
Great game, Boggle is one of my favorites. I featured it in my Ludum dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp9ky-3J3J4
Game seems well put together. I don't know how I feel about the combination of a strict time limit and a word game. I feel like the time limit restricts the player form ever getting a sense of what they might be able to do with the board.
Nice clean look to it. Bit more feedback/sound would be nice.
