Writing a boggle solver was the first assignment in CS106X at Stanford, which was still taught in C when I took it in the fall of 1994.
The trie code as well as the display UI were provided - you only had to write the board-walking code.
Being as this was the first time I had ever written any program, I remember it being quite challenging but also really fun. It was great to see your own program utterly house you when you played against it.
I wonder if I still have that code somewhere ... it would be fun to look at / cringe.
