Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Franklin SCR-226 The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary
Customer Review: Sadly, not properly updated for 2007
Summary: 3 Stars
Our family is disappointed with this Companion.
We own two earlier versions of Franklin Electronic Scrabble Dictionaries, purchased approx 1991 & 2002. Each has been a tiny treasure; well used at home, while traveling & especially at the beach! Purchased this because we wanted to update.
CONS .....
1. Too large, not easily carried with our Travel Scrabble.
2. Uses heavier, shorter lasting & more expensive batteries.
3. MOST DISAPPOINTING, does not have the UPDATED special little words that make great Scrabble crosswords & scores. It is even missing some that are in our older units!
Having the newest legal Scrabble words is the exact reason we purchased it, so phooey to this gadget!
PROS .....
You may like it if you have not already used the first generations of the Scrabble Companion. It is easy to read if you need larger buttons or print. Could be useful for teaching children or beginners. Has some games. Colorful.
CONCLUSION .....
We will use our new Official Scrabble Dictionary in book form when at home. Not as much fun, but IT has the most up-to-date & challenging words. When traveling or at the beach, will use our old Companion while complaining we could have higher scores, if only....... ;-D
