Great for those who like vocabulary & spelling!!!
I am an adult gamer who likes vocabulary & spelling. They were my favorite subjects in school. I was excited to see they made a game out of it!!

There are variety of word games. Pick the one that's misspelled, the one that's correct, unscramble the words, & spell the word they flash at you quickly. Real neat. I really enjoyed it. The games are timed and you collect coins depending on how well you did. It keeps track of your points and you can try to beat others with the score or beat your own score. You enter your age and they'll give you your skill according to your age. If it's a 9 year old, they'll give 9 year old's reading level. If you enter an adult's age, the words get harder. You also unlock some new games once you beat certain games or level.

I've played with it for 40 minutes and I like it. I can't wait to go back and play some more. Everything is done with the stylus and there is no problems with it's usage. The only downside is that it does not use a QWERTY as a way to find the letters. It's in alphabet order. I am a typist and I know where the letters are in QWERTY way but since it's in alphabet order, I learned pretty quickly where the letters are and became faster in finding the letters I wanted eventually. I don't know how this game is long term but so far it's a great word game.

Great game for kids and adults!
My son, who is 9 was hesitant at first because he is a pokemon fan, but the game show style of this game drew him in and now he loves to play! He likes collecting money for each challenge that he completes. His 5 year old sister and I have also played and enjoyed it. Highly recommended for parents!

Lots of fun for me
I agree that the game is fun. It is fairly fast-paced. It tries pretty well to adapt to the user's skill level. It asked me my age, and at 38 years old, it put me on level 31. Seemed a little too easy, but who knows where it can go from here. Lots of games that I haven't unlocked.
I agree that the qwerty configuration would be good for two reasons. First, for those of us who type, that is how we look for letters. Second, for kids, that is how they SHOULD be learning to look for letters. It's a skill that everyone needs in the 21st century. Maybe 5-year old players should have the option to have it in alphabetical order, but they should include qwerty as an option.
nonetheless, great game, great fun.
more people need to understand that spelling correctly can be fun!
