Smaller than the original version and no way to update online.

Got this as a Christmas present for my elderly parents who love to play Scrabble but have trouble looking words up in their well-worn dictionary. They put in new batteries and said they had trouble with it right from the start. I think I bought it used but like new. Unfortunately, they didn't tell me it wasn't working until I visited them this past weekend. It would only come on haphazardly when the power button was pressed, and then it would go off whenever. It would work for a definition or two and then stop. Too late to return it, I see. What a shame. I've had one for years and love it. Hoping they would too.

I play Scrabble at least twice a week. My record is 13 games in one day. This device is helpful to me; I use it after the game. If I think I might have had a bingo, I record my letters and check them when the game is over. So many words in this world...the seven letter ones are my favorites. My personal best is 535, a score I attained last Christmas Eve.

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.

The one I ordered first this year, was defective. I got a new one, and it also does the same thing...when you hit "back", it clears your letters. I am still very unhappy with my purchase. These machines cost too much money not to work properly. The one I bought two years ago worked for a long time and I never had a moments trouble with it. I would like a new one to replace this second one. Tona Brown

My children and I have been using this to play scrabble and it really 'levels the playing field' for us. You can enter the tiles you have in your hand and it will make suggestions, you can check spellings, help find places to put your words, and more.I have noticed that in playing this and really thinking about the words their spelling is improving and their vocabulary is imporving. Before their game consisted of words they already knew and ones I suggested -- a much more enjoyable game for everyone involved!!

I bought my wife a new cell phone and she downloaded Scrabble on it. She got hooked on the game. As a B/D gift I bought her the Franklin Scrabble Companion. She loves it. Now I think I have to get a second wife that doesn't like Scrabble so I can have someone to talk too. But seriously, it is great, she loves it. Now my daughter wants one for Xmas.
