5.0 out of 5 stars A very handy companion to Scrabble! A Must Have !, October 13, 2004

By	T. Nelson "Amazon Lover" (Chgo, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you love Scrabble, you have to try out this Scrabble electronic dictionary. It's wonderful....it makes playing the game much easier. Even a tabbed (book) dictionary isn't as good as this - just type in the word - press enter - you instantly see if it's a word or not, and if so, it'll define it. If it takes forever to tell you - that means it's not a word and it's finding the nearest word to your entry. There's some games and extras on it, but it does the job wonderfully!! I didn't pay retail, I got it on sale which I'm sure I'll never see again, but it's worth it even at retail price!

Very easy to use and your friends and family will thank you for it! It definitely saves time during the game!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great item for the non-conformist Scrabble player, April 2, 2004

By A Customer

First- let me say; I have to give this a 4, I'm afraid the quality of the item is not the highest standard. It is beginning to have trouble pressing buttons, and giving all word possibilites. I think this is because we use it so much. I have used this item for about 5 months, anywhere from 2-3 hours a day! It is great for entering letters, and having the item (we call it "the brain") tell you all the available words. Can't play scrabble without it!
