Customer Review: Excellent game
Summary: 5 Stars
This is excellent game. All the family enjoys using it when playing ScrabbleCustomer Review: Franklin Scrabble Companion
Summary: 4 Stars
The Franklin Scrabble Companion (FSC) was priced fairly, and delivered promptly. A nice touch was the cloth bag with draw-string into which the FSC is stored when not in use. This product has a tendency to go into failure modes - this is the second one I've purchased and both products have this same tendency. However, there is a simple fix when this happens - depressing with a narrow point a button on the back always seems to work. In our Scrabble Club, the allowable words are changing; unfortunately, the FSC does not include these new words (eg., QI, FE, KI, ZA, ...). Not sure what Franklin's plans are to update the current model....Customer Review: Great product, but an old edition.
Summary: 4 Stars
I love my Scrabble dictionary. It is very compact and a lot easier to bring along on vacation than the paperback dictionary. It has some skill-building games on it and can even be used to find words for the letters you have--a feature I use when playing against the computer in order to increase my skill. The drawback of this dictionary, however, is that it only contains the words from the 3rd edition of the official dictionary. The fourth edition has been out for some time now, but this product has not been updated. Otherwise, I would give it five stars.Customer Review: Good product -- except for the censorship!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is easy to use and portable. My only objection is the omission of "objectionable" words. I find that very annoying (I don't need or want to be protected) -- but we (my wife and I) don't want to have to use two reference authorities for our games, so we live without these words that we'd find in the OED.
I'd still recommend it -- especially if ou play regularly away from your home base (the beach, etc) -- and find it impractical to drag a 20lb dictionary about with you.
Customer Review: Great item for the non-conformist Scrabble player
Summary: 4 Stars
First- let me say; I have to give this a 4, I'm afraid the quality of the item is not the highest standard. It is beginning to have trouble pressing buttons, and giving all word possibilites. I think this is because we use it so much. I have used this item for about 5 months, anywhere from 2-3 hours a day! It is great for entering letters, and having the item (we call it "the brain") tell you all the available words. Can't play scrabble without it!
