On a 3x3 boggle board with 'A' in the upper-left corner, I made these words:
ABSORBENT ROBES BATE TERN
What was the board?
(question: is this type of puzzle fun and/or interesting?) |

| Yes, if the answer is unique. |

This works, but isn't unique (flip it across the diagonal containing the A to get another solution.)

Yeah, that's as unique as I can make it without spoiling a second letter. Time to dig up a 16 letter word for a 4x4 grid  |

| Surely there will always be a set of equivalent solutions that only differ through rotation or mirroring. |

Yes, I meant unique outside of those things that are outside our control. |

| Right, so Thok's solution might be unique in that sense. |
