Jumble Hand Held

I bought this little game for my 80 yr old mother who loves the jumble in the newspapers. Now some senior citizens are into computers and get electronics just as much as the younger generations. This is not my Mom.She could not figure out how to use the game and I think the act of writing on paper is an essential part of her playing the game. Also the fact you had to finish one jumble first before you got to the other left her cold. She jumps around when she gets stuck.For me...it was fine...Now if I could just nab it when she isn't looking.

I love doing Jumbles - I buy all of the Jumble books I can find. The hand-held version is not as entertaining as the books because it doesn't have the cartoons, and you can't see the bonus puzzle letters until you get to the bonus puzzle, but for when you're on the road, it's better than lugging a book and a pencil. Very easy to use, and well made, though I wish the display was a little easier to read in dim light.

it all right. i have to get new batteries though because when i got it it ran out after 5 min of playing....UGH! guess when batteries are included that's what it really means....doesn't mean they're working batteries! thanks alot!

i wanted some type of hand held device that i type in the letters that are jumbled and it finds a word with those letters.don't even understand the thing you sent?do you have this item that spells words from jumbled letters?

It is to small. It is hard to get tinto to change the battery. I thought it would be more like the one that I play on the computer.Chris Miller

game is small but the screen is large enough so you don't strain your eyes trying to play the game. It's great to pack for a car/air trip which is what I wanted it for. Seller shipped same day as it was ordered and rec'd within 2-3 days.

This toy is fun and enjoyable. Very convenient- though I still enjoy playing the Jumble game in the newspapers, this toy is so much easier to handle and store away. I keep it in my bathroom and use it as the great escape!

ok - packaging was messed up and I had gotten it for a gift
