Customer Review: scrabble electronic dictionary
Summary: 4 Stars
What a fabulous invention!! I would have rated it a 5, except for the fact that you still occasionally need to look up words in a conventional dictionary. While using this item I have found several words, which I knew were "words", not included here but listed in a conventional dictionary.
However, it is very easy to use and speeds up the game of scrabble. It also includes a few word games. Buy it!
Customer Review: Scrabble Wonder
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this little device!
Helps younger or inexperienced players learn new words (definitions are included, which is wonderful). Also helps experienced players improve!
There are games on this item too, have not played them... but I love gadgets that have more than one use!
Easy to use, and truely a great item for any scrabble lover!
(reduced star due to pricey!!)
Customer Review: confusing
Summary: 4 Stars
I used the Build button to do jumbled letters and it didn't have the memory for all the words. I keep wishing I can add to the dictionary, but can't find a way to do it. If you use it for Scrabble, be aware that some words will not be found.Customer Review: scrabble dictionary

Fast and easy. Slightly hard to view. Batteries get used up quickly. Still, easier than lifting heavy book type dictionary.Customer Review: Sadly, not properly updated for 2007

Our family is disappointed with this Companion.
We own two earlier versions of Franklin Electronic Scrabble Dictionaries, purchased approx 1991 & 2002. Each has been a tiny treasure; well used at home, while traveling & especially at the beach! Purchased this because we wanted to update.
CONS .....
1. Too large, not easily carried with our Travel Scrabble.
2. Uses heavier, shorter lasting & more expensive batteries.
3. MOST DISAPPOINTING, does not have the UPDATED special little words that make great Scrabble crosswords & scores. It is even missing some that are in our older units!
Having the newest legal Scrabble words is the exact reason we purchased it, so phooey to this gadget!
PROS .....
You may like it if you have not already used the first generations of the Scrabble Companion. It is easy to read if you need larger buttons or print. Could be useful for teaching children or beginners. Has some games. Colorful.
CONCLUSION .....
We will use our new Official Scrabble Dictionary in book form when at home. Not as much fun, but IT has the most up-to-date & challenging words. When traveling or at the beach, will use our old Companion while complaining we could have higher scores, if only....... ;-D
