overall grade: A+

Construction: A+
Contents - 240 lettered tiles, one score pad, and one pencil. It has all the basics and none of the un-needed frills. The tiles are thin, lightweight and very easy to move around the table for quick rearranging.

Playability: A+
This game is one of the absolute easiest games to learn! Think scrabble, only faster. The trick is to build your own crossword puzzle with the pieces you draw, but the catch is that every time someone yells "Pick Two", everyone draws two more tiles, and you can rearrange your crossword at any time. Sound simple? You're right, it is. As long as you have a mostly hard surface to play on, you can play this game anywhere and with up to 8 players, which is great for parties or big families.

Value: A+
I love this game and it has quickly become not only one of my favorites, but a favorite of my family's as well. At a mere $20, this game is not only affordable, but a must-have for anyone who loves word games. The beauty of this game is in its simplicity, but also in its ability to be played quickly, by many players, and have a great educational aspec for your youngins who want to work on their spelling.
