Title: Fun game for spelling and vocabulary practice
Review: We played this game tonight with our 6-year old and 10-year old and had so much fun. The stacking component made this a fun alternative to Scrabble and is great for practicing vocab and spelling skills. We love that the board swivels to make it easy for each person at the table to take a turn. It’s a fun asset to our homeschooling lifestyle.

Title: Well made game, love the swivel board
Review: Fun word strategy game, transforming words into new words, different ways to earn points, and more. It's well made and the swivel board is a big plus. This has different scoring from scrabble. It's more about thinking creatively about transforming words into new words or changing tense. Scoring is different from scrabble as are some of the rules, which seem to be designed to enable upward transformations, for example, words cannot be made plural so an "S" can't be tagged onto the end of a word, it stretches the player to use an S at the beginning of a word to create a new word. It takes time to learn the rules and we discovered violating them restricted the opportunities to build upwards. This has become one of our go-to games! Very happy with this purchase.

Title: My 7 year old loved to make words
Review: This has been a good education game. We play with our 7 year old, although we have relaxed the rules, but its good educational toy, and encourages him to think of new words and is helpful in improving his vocabulary.

Title: Great Game, But Packaging Needs Improvement
Review: The game itself is fantastic, and I really enjoy playing it. However, I’ve had issues with the packaging. Several times, the box has arrived scuffed or damaged, and in some cases, even sealed with tape in odd places. While the game is great, the packaging quality definitely needs improvement.

Review: Been enjoying this game a lot lately! It's super easy to learn (though the scoring instructions are a tiny bit confusing as first because of the way it's worded). I enjoy it more than Scrabble, though my husband says it's equally fun to him. A game takes us about an hour, maybe two. We've taken to leaving it set up all the time and each playing our next word whenever we have a spare moment in the day, then playing many turns together in the evening. It allows us to keep playing when our schedules aren't lining up well or when we're busy. Definitely recommend!

Review: On our first crack at this game, we thought we could stack letters to create new words even if the adjacent/connecting words are affected. But we realized that we can only stack letters to create new, valid words and that the stacked letter does not change or create a weird adjacent or connecting word.Scoring is simple. You get 2 points for each tile in a word you create, 1 point on stacked letters (1 point for 1 stacked letter, 2 points for 2 stacked letters, 3 for 3 stacked tiles, etc) The components are sturdy and the stacked tiles don't fall off. In fact before buying this game I was afraid that the stacked tiles would fall off and lead to awkward handling, so I posted my question on Amazon. Out of the 7 who answered, 6 said the tiles don't fall off because they have tiny pegs that clasp to the tile. I don't know why 1 person answered "yes, they fall". But rest assured they don't. We've played it 3 times already and we're very happy with this purchase. Strong buy (if you like word games).
