5.0 out of 5 stars Age Recommendation - 8 - Adult
I purchased this when Amazon offered it for under five bucks. I had to make myself put it down after playing several of the work find games. Maybe I'm still a kid at heart but I'm over 40 and I love it. The screen is very easy to read & I've had no problems with the touchpad. Fun for all ages if you like Word Games.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun
I really like this game. All four games are fun and challenging. However, I only give it three stars because quite often when I touch the stylus to the screen, the letter won't get selected. I have lost games because it takes too long for a letter to get selected. It's like the screen can't sense the stylus, for some reason. Other than that, when it works right, it...

5.0 out of 5 stars WORD Rocks!, December 10, 2007
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Illuminated W.O.R.D. - The Ultimate Word Game Collection (Toy)
I love playing word games online and its even better to be able to play them on the go!

I highly recommend WORD to anyone who loves word games and to any parent who wants to get their child spelling and playing.

I didn't have any issues with the touch screen and the backlight was key for playing in the car at night.

This is a nice game, but I agree that the stylus sometimes does not do what it is supposed to do. For the price, it could use some improvement. Other than that, it is a good handheld game.

My problem is similar to others I've read here. We love the game, but a few months after purchasing it the "submit" button failed to work. We reset it, we put in new batteries, and nothing helped, so basically it's now a piece of junk. I emailed Techno Source THREE times before I finally got a response (I could not find a phone number to call) and was told by Pat that there was nothing that could be done because they only replace items within 90 days of purchase. "Sorry for the inconvenience" was all I got. I came here hoping that my experience was a fluke, but I see that it is not, so unfortunately, even though we love this game, we won't be purchasing another, and this one is going in the trash.

Bought this for my husband. He loves crossword puzzles and other word puzzles. It was great fun for a recent airline trip. Did find it cheaper at a local store - oh well. It was money well spent.

The games on this device are really nice. Bought this for my wife you likes word games and she loved it...initially. After about 5 mins of playing, parts (important parts) of the touch screen stopped working. Powering On/Off and Resetting would solve the problem for a short while and then it would happen again.

Was going to return it and order a replacement but now, I think I won't bother with a replacement because I notice that lot of other people also had the same issue.

Sad really..My wife really liked the games

I love this word game - I could play it for hours. I would pay up to $50 for a good quality, easy to read & operate touch screen..

Game makers please take note...

Touch screen does not work at all. The only thing you can do is turn it on & off. I think they should recall this item & correct it. From the looks of it I am not othe only person that has had problems with this item.

I bought this game as a Christmas present for my mother. The "submit" button didn't work so I did as the manual said and hit reset; no luck. Changed the batteries; no luck. Emailed TechnoSource three (3) times and failed to get ANY response. I finally returned the item to Amazon. As luck would have it I got an email from Pat the next day apologizing for the delay and saying they had shipped a replacement via FedEx. I told him I'd returned the game but he said not to worry about it and to keep the replacement. Good thing I returned the thing because the "replacement" went to someplace in Kansas... I'm in Idaho. I won't be purchasing items from TechnoSource again.
