Scrabble Flash

This new game -- which is more like Boggle than Scrabble -- uses nifty electronic tiles. Each tile displays a letter, and a player links the tiles together to make words. When a word is formed, the smart electronic tiles keep score. The game has solitaire and multi-player versions. Suggested age is eight and up, but the tiles are fun to handle and younger kids may like playing around with them. Could be a good learn-to-spell tool, too!
