Upwords rating: 5/5 stars Best game ever invented

This is the most fabulous game. Only negative comment is the the dictionary should be taken from the Scrabble dictionary as there are many words you can make but the game won't allow it because the dictionary doesn't allow them.

Upwords rating: 5/5 stars 5 stars-EXCELLENT

I really wish that you(Hasbro) would get the computer game back on the market!!! I know at least ten people that would buy it. And another thing IF you do --there needs to be a way to dispute 'maven' as I play against the computer. I'm 81 and I really play the game --probably 4 or 5 hours a day and never tire of it.

Upwords rating: 5/5 stars On Line Version !!

Best game ever - I used to play every day with my mom in another state on line. When will it ever come back - we'd be willing to pay an annual fee to be able to play Upwords on line.

Upwords rating: 5/5 stars Easy and Hard, all in one

You can make this game as challenging as you want. Stay with small sight words or move to unusual words you don't often hear or see. Best game ever! Like Tetris in college at 2am only with another player!!

Upwords rating: 5/5 stars A Sharp 87-Year Old

My 87 year old Mom and I have been playing Upwards every week for years and years now. We ALWAYS have a great time playing. We keep our minds active and (with the help of a dictionary) learn new words every time. We like the large tile version.

Upwords rating: 5/5 stars Love it!

We sit around playing this for hours during the holidays and it never gets old - even when playing with the in-laws ;).

Upwords rating: 5/5 stars The best!

As an avid Scrabble player (I once took it on a week long camping trip on an island in the middle of a lake), I was so thrilled to find out about Upwords this last year. At first I didn't think I liked it, because there wasn't an advantage to making longer words, or using Z's & Q's. In fact, a long word was harder to change. But after playing it 2-3 more times, I was hooked! I found it SOOOO much more interesting to try to change 2 or 3 words at once! In fact last night I was able to change CANDIDA to SALTINE which changed CRAW to CREW (and I had been certain that when my mother put CANDIDA down there'd be no changing it!) Boy, was that fun! (Serious Upwords players will relate to my excitement :) ). As a busy homeschooling mother of 7, I don't have much time to play, but I do whenever I get a chance. If no one else is willing to play, I just play against myself. That way I'm sure to win! :-) Or I just make it part of my children's language arts lesson, and make them play with me. :-) They are all very good at it, in fact! (6 of the 7, ages 6-18; the 3 year old will be indoctrinated in the coming years). Though after playing it you find Scrabble feels different at first, I recommend them both to anyone who loves working with words, like me!
