I was very excited about buying this game when I seen it on Pogo.com. I went to walmart and bought one. I ended up returning it. It had no light to light up the screen so it was difficult to see to play. And glares made it worse. They really need to add some sort of light on the game.

This review is from: POGO Scrabble Touch Screen (Toy)

I had read some of the previous review that complained about no backlighting on this game so I was prepared for that and figured I could attach a little light to it if necessary. What I wasn't prepared for is how the game plays unfairly. When it's the computer's turn to create words, it takes a long time to come up with the word it will use. When it's the individual's turn to create words if you take too long the game shuts off. The computer creates words that are highly questionable and there is no way to challenge the words. My husband tried to use the word "sneer" with a triple point score and it was rejected by the computer. I would not recommend this game for those who aren't prepared to be frustrated.

This review is from: POGO Scrabble Touch Screen (Toy)

Everything is so tiny, and there is no backlight, so I have not been able to play the game. Having owned 2 of the orginal Scrabble Express electronic handheld, I was thrilled when I saw this version. "My bad", it is nothing liked the original. I owned and played the original for over 10 years, and can only sigh contentedly as I recall the hours of delightful pleasure. Both have stopped functioning. I cannot believe that Hasbro could produce such an inferior product after such a good one.

The packaging was destroyed before I realized how bad the situation was, so I was unable to return it. Thus I lost my money because the product is useless.

Not a happy camper in New York.
