#Driver Code

boggle_board = BoggleBoard.new(dice_grid)
boggle_board.create_word([1,2],[3,0],[2,1]) #=> dtc
boggle_board.create_word([3,0],[3,1],[3,2],[3,3]) #=> tak

boggle_board.get_col(1) #=> roca
boggle_board.get_row(2) #=> eclr



# create driver test code to retrieve a value at a coordinate here:

boggle_board.retrieve([3,2])#=> "k"

Reviewing and reflecting- some parts of this were incredibly simple, and some were more tangled up. I'm still mentally getting hold of making sure to define what takes place within a class vs. main. Learning about transpose was awesomely helpful.

Sweet transpose, really elegant solution to get_col
