Cool, I am partial to a word game. Finding words in 10 seconds is pretty damn tough! Intense.
Nice clean look to it. Bit more feedback/sound would be nice.

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 :)
wooooow this is a lot harder than I thought. As said before, the best word to describe it is "intense" :3
Now add screenshake and dubstep
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.
My English requires some improvement...
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.
Resetting the letters every ten seconds: harsh!
