Boggle was immensely improved by expanding the board by 25%

Not sure if you're being facetious, but I do agree with this statement. (Actually, it was expanded by 56%, to be pedantic.) I also think that the current 10x10 Upwords board is a huge improvement on the original 8x8 board. I think expanding the Scrabble board may be a diminished return, though; just playing Clabbers is a good way to increase word length and scoring while using the same board. And quadruple word score squares just seems like overkill...

Action-packed? Maybe they keep the 25-minutes-per-player tournament rule, which means you'd have to play quite fast to avoid penalties. Or maybe it's simultaneous play or something crazy like that. Still, it wouldn't be as action-packed as Body Boggle.
