Heck yeah, this is the sort of app I've wanted for a while. There's quite a bit of history with the official Boggle app's decline in quality (imo) throughout its iterations that I wanna share:
The first time an official Boggle app was released was on iOS around 2008/2009. Published by EA and just called "Boggle", it was a paid app for $0.99 that was barebones by today's standards, but really quite nice. No multiplayer, just Boggle.
Then around 2011 for iOS and (for the first time) Android, EA made "Boggle Free". Basically the same app as Boggle, but free with really intrusive ads and an in-app purchase to remove them. This one had multiplayer introduced, Facebook integration, stuff like that.
Come 2017, Zynga acquires Boggle and makes "Boggle with Friends" for iOS and Android, a strange move since their game "Word Streak with Friends" (previously called "Scramble with Friends") from 2012 was already 99% the same. It's not only got ads but tons of other in-app purchases and notification spamming. Also has lots of social aspects like friends lists, chatting, tournaments, all that sorta stuff.
"Boggle With Friends" is now the only official Boggle app, the others have been removed. As someone who really enjoys just the basic core gameplay of Boggle, kinda of a bummer that this is true. Fortunately, there have always been tons of other apps that mimic Boggle without all the bloat, which I am grateful for and do play often, like "Wordament" (though the most recent update caused quite a ruckus, check the reviews) and "Boggle My Way". From what I see, "Word Pipes" at ~2MB really is the most condensed a Boggle game can really be, so thank you very much for making it :).
Nice game! Catch me on the leaderboard :)
I play a very similar game, Wordament, pretty competitively. It's quite old, but has a very active playerbase.
Unfortunately I don't think it really works to play "with friends", but based on your post I feel I should really recommend Microsoft's game - Wordament. It's really fun if you like word games!

Try Wordament and Snap-Attack . I don't think they will bring over any other games in the near future, but anything can happen.
Wordament is an online word game that you can play. It's an app made by Microsoft, who also make the XBOX.
<em>Wordament</em> is the game I play the most often right now.
