Background
Having done lots of research on this study, it appears that there no such
study that is the same as my study. I did find other studies on Wordament that does not relate to the number words to win it. However,
studies have been done on students knowing more vocabulary. Some
studies do say that Wordament is a good game to teach kids new vocabulary
words. The problem with that is that the game does not provide a
definition since the game picks a random board without replacement every two
minutes and forty-five seconds. I did some research on Boggle.
The studies that have been conducted are essentially the same as the studies
conducted for Wordament. The problem with that is that most versions
of Boggle are that they are not an online game. Boggle is a game with
16 fair dice that has one letter on each side of the die. The number
of boards in Boggle is more limited since only 16 dice are being used at
once while Wordament less limited since the game randomly generates a board
by using programing, All 26 letters are factored in on each tile on
Wordament while Boggle has one letter per side of the 16 dice. Boggle has a
total of 59,025,489,844,657,012,604,928,000 boards. However, according to
the Wordament official website, and seeing a post in a forum thread of an
official Microsoft Employee, there are over 40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
boards and those boards that have been used will not be used again, except
for upload errors. Like they are going to run out boards any time
soon. For an example, a board may have only one letter per square
that’s a board. Another board can be the same as the previous ones
that has been used now with a theme added to the mix. That is
considered two different boards since the theme makes it a different
configuration. Not only that there are either/or tiles, letters in the
corners, speed rounds, and more types of rounds increases the board count.
Knowing that the boards are randomly chosen by a computer and never used the
same configuration of the board twice, except for upload errors, the samples
are chosen at random without replacement.
