A Great Companion
I had been browsing the web looking at various word games for my nieces aged 6 and 11. I wanted one that would help in building their vocabulary and at the same time offer some fun. Finally I decided to buy Franklin Scrabble Companion. My nieces vocabulary has improved a lot. The electronic dictionary is great and it also prevents my older niece from taking advantage of the younger one who doesn't know to use a dictionary. My sister and brother-in-law also got hooked to the game and enjoy it immensely. Playing scrabble has become sort of a routine in their house that they look forward to eagerly.
My sister said that the Franklin Scrabble Companion is also a great boon on the nights that they entertain as it prevents the kids from making a ruckus, since they are very engrossed in it. Since the games can be played at different skill levels it never gets boring. It is a perfect gift that can be given for birthdays and other occasions and I highly recommend it to one and all irrespective of age.
Love / Hate relationship
We absolutely love our Scrabble "cheating machine." We play with our 13 year old son, and the "cheating machine" has taught him a lot of new words. When friends play with us, they often start out scorning our machine and us for having it (hence the source of its name). But by the time the game's half over, they're grabbing it, too, to confirm unusual two-letter words and for challenges. We occassionaly play the games which has improved my own Scrabble game. We've had to reset it a couple times (easily done) but have had no other problems in the past 18 months we've owned it.
A very handy companion to Scrabble! A Must Have !
If you love Scrabble, you have to try out this Scrabble electronic dictionary. It's wonderful....it makes playing the game much easier. Even a tabbed (book) dictionary isn't as good as this - just type in the word - press enter - you instantly see if it's a word or not, and if so, it'll define it. If it takes forever to tell you - that means it's not a word and it's finding the nearest word to your entry. There's some games and extras on it, but it does the job wonderfully!! I didn't pay retail, I got it on sale which I'm sure I'll never see again, but it's worth it even at retail price!
Very easy to use and your friends and family will thank you for it! It definitely saves time during the game!!
