Love this game! It's really great. It's fun and educational. You learn a lot! I've installed it in all my computers (at home, at work, even at my sister's home!). Love it! I recommend it a lot!

I'm an adult and this game really helps to keep your mind sharp when it comes to spelling. The game is set up so you don't feel like you're learning, but its very entertaining. I initially received this game on a bonus dvd with limited play, and enjoyed it so much that I looked to buy it from many stores with no success. Then I remembered Amazon and of course they had it!!! I was so delighted, it downloaded in no time at all and the price couldn't be beat! Highly recommend this game and Amazon for all!

Great game, helps you with words. Some of the word are difficult but it will make you familiar with words in the near future.

The game is a lot of fun and it sure test you spelling abilities. I found out that mine is terrible. You can use it to teach your child how to spell. Very educational.

I'm an adult and I love this program! It's very childish, but that's OK with me. The fact that the words are read aloud by the program is an advantage. As I type my answer I hear an annoying voice reading each letter as I type it and after I get the correct answer I hear cheers. Those things are a little annoying to me as an adult. I type well and those things slow me down a little bit. I wish I knew the total number of words in the program and how they were selected.

This is a great spelling game, but potential buyers should be aware that it is an aural game. The words are pronounced verbally. So if you want to play a game without being heard, this game is NOT for you!

This was quite an enjoyable game. However, I wouldn't recommend it for people who are not American. I found some of the American pronunciations hard to understand, eg. "substantative' this word was pronounced with the stress on the first syllable but where I live the stress is on the second syllable; 'palette' sounded like 'pallid' - quite often t's were not pronounced clearly. I'd love an English version of this game.
