Dec 31, 2007 I really like the game, but as everyone else has said, the dictionary leaves a lot to be desired. It rejects basic words, but then it comes up with words from out of nowhere.

Mar 5, 2007 I agree that the dictionary is not up to any standard. It rejected "eke", "maidens" and "hi".

Nov 4, 2006 The pld Upwords with Scrabble dictionary was my favorite game but the Encarta dictionary is horrible. It rejects MANY words that are in dictionary -- when it said legs wasn't a word today, I quit.

Sep 20, 2006 I solved part of the dictionary problem by turning it off. It plays words it says are real but I can't find in online dictionaries, but won't let me (like others) play real words that ARE in dictionaries. And I agree the filtering is ridiculous. Can't they have a "bad word list ON/OFF" toggle, like the dictionary? And maybe a choice of dictionaries? Love word games, but if this will be the way their dictionary references are going in the future, it'll honestly (the truth, not the fru…

Aug 16, 2006 Aren't these products even tested? Play elite level, the computer came up with the word silicula . I was curious, so I check the definition. It said:
Encarta Definition
SILICULA
a type of dry fruit, for example, that of honesty, consisting of a broad flat pod divided by a membrane into two seed chambers
So, honesty is a type a fruit now?
Can you import some into Washington D.C. please?

Aug 14, 2006 It plays well, but the dictionary is faulty. For example, it rejected legs and skier. Both are in Encarta's dictionary, the source it supposedly checks against.

Aug 11, 2006 I agree with Anonymous, game has a very poor dictionary. Too many everyday words are on the Naughty list. If you are worried about parental concerns then state so on the game introduction to protect Shockwave. Or have your games rated like Playsation, XBox and other on line games. With all this said, I still think it is worth playing and if you buy the one year subscription you can choose this game or one of 200 others. I am a big fan for three years. Love Gameblast/Shockwave! Let the GA…

Aug 10, 2006 I actually really enjoy playing this game BUT, the computer uses past tense, plurals and other words that make absolutely no sense but if I use a word like Billed or Fondly, it tells me that I'm incorrect. It uses Encarta, but then so do I. So, whoever programmed this game should be hung by his neck until dead.
