Review

An excellent use of technology to enhance play opportunities. Kids can explore letter combinations with an electronic "mentor" that instantly verifies when they create a real word. From an educational perspective, it's unfortunate that there's no un-timed "explore" option, because in the frantic rush to think up as many combinations as possible, it's difficult to note the new words you do find - let alone look them up in a dictionary. And while the unit lets you know the total number of word combinations possible, it would have been nice to see those words. Nevertheless, as a simple game, this one gets top marks for fun.

Manufacturer's Description It's up to you to find words in a "flash" with this fun, electronic version of the classic SCRABBLE game! Use the interactive SmartLink tiles to build your words and they'll flash and beep with each word you make! They'll also automatically time your turns and display your score with the maximum possible score. Put your skills to the test with three different solo and competitive games and slide, swap and shuffle your way to a win. It's fast-paced, addictive, word-building fun! Includes 5 SmartLink letter tiles, storage box and rules.
