after a post-work, late night boggle session the following words came under investigation. Obviously none of them were used for point scoring, but for future reference, this might be useful:
acceptable words:
Wat-- a Buddhist temple or monastery in Cambodia or Thailand
Tog-- a coat or cloak
Pish-- interjection used to express disdain
Tewed-- to prepare by beating or working as in leather, hemp, or taw
quat-- the leaves of the shrub Catha edulis which are chewed like tobacco or used to make tea; has the effect of a euphoric stimulant. (holy crap, I wouldn't have even tried to use that word....... again)
Not acceptable words:
Myte-- Danish for "fable" or "myth" (foreign languages don't count)
Tey
Teap
(Not even close... but are usable acronyms)
Shwim (just checking... on a whim, mostly because shwimming was also there... and i didn't find "swim" or "swimming" somehow)
There's also some debate as to what dictionary to use. There aren't any particularly good online boggle dictionaries, scrabble dictionaries are for a different game altogether, so good old dictionary.com has been the staple... maybe that should change

Also played during boggle and worthy of noting is the word "fon". Although it wasn't quite used correctly or creatively enough in a sentence, therefore not scored during the boggle round, fon is indeed a word according to: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fon
