This product isn't going to change anyone's world, but for the true Scrabble-holic, this is a great way to stretch your brain and get your daily dose of Scrabble even when you can't get a game. Using the familiar "Page-a-Day" format, this calendar offers a variety of Scrabble-themed puzzles, including anagramming, finding your best play in a mock game situation, finding the phony word among a list of plausible words, seeing how many shorter words you can find within a word, and so forth. The "find your best play" pages give you point values for "average", "good", and "expert" plays, enabling you to compare yourself to a benchmark. If you're stumped, each page has the solution on the reverse. The calendar format is compact and fits neatly and conveniently on any desk, no matter how small or cluttered. I first received this calendar as a gift about 5 years ago, and have been buying it for myself ever since. I wouldn't think of starting the New Year without it! It's an oasis of Scrabble in my workday - a little diversion that any word geek is sure to enjoy.

What an excellent calendar! There's a nice variety of puzzles so I never get bored. But watch out - some of these are real stumpers! This calendar challenges me, and I play Scrabble almost daily. Definitely stay away if you've only a passing interest in the game.

I used to think that I was a pretty good Scrabble player, but this calendar has put me in my place! Should improve your Scrabble skills over the year!

This calendar arrived on time in brand new condition. It's great for Scrabble lovers!

My sister is a HUGE Scrabble fan and I knew this would be a perfect gift for her...she loved it!

I don't use this daily but it is nice just to work through some days for fun and working on your scrabble skills.

A nice little dose of wordplay. Mostly good puzzles, but some words they use are a bit out of ordinary range. Who the heck knows what an addax is? Good desk calendar for word addicts.

I had looked locally for this product and for the first time in years was not able to find it. I was so happy to find it here and most of all for the speedy shipment. I am satisfied in every way with it. THANK YOU!

Got this for my Dad and his wife - they're into Scrabble. They'll dig it!
