More fun than Scrabble
I'm a long-time Scrabble player who recently played Upwords while on vacation. The game is a lot of fun and in some ways is more challenging than Scrabble.

Upwords Game is fun and educational
I tried finding Upwords in retail stores but could not. I am so happy to have found it online. I am playing with my granddaughter to keep her mind challenged during her summer vacation.

Great game. Could have better quality game pieces...
This is a great game for everyone. Especially good for younger people since they can spell "shorter" words and still win the game. Great positive reinforcement for spelling and reading.
I do like the original game better- the tiles are bigger. I think the newer version is not as well made and I don't like the smaller tiles. And where is the bag for the letters?? I bought a newer version because I wanted to leave a game at my mountain cabin where we have no TV and play games at night. I'm going to look for a version of the game where the game pieces are larger and better made. The game is still worth buying and playing with kids and adults. We've been playing this game for over 20 years and never play Scrabble anymore since we play Upwords all the time. My family loves the game and we highly recommend it!

Fun Game!
This is a fun game that I remember from my own childhood. I got it for my own kids and I play it a lot with them. Fun game and a great "thinking" game.

Fun & Challenging
Amazon is referring to this game as a "toy," but it is a "toy" for children, as well as adults. I bought Upwords for myself and I am 46 yrs old. I play it with adults. And it is challenging and fun. It is a different spin on Scrabble. Anyone who likes word games, such as Scrabble, will like Upwords. [Another game, from the 1960's, that is no longer on the market,"Scribbage," is another one that word game lovers would enjoy in their collection.}

The older version of the game was better in regard to color and maybe piece size (I don't quite remember). The new one has red letter pieces. I got used to it, but still prefer the old, white (or off-white?) pieces. The manufacturer did the same thing with Rummikub, reducing the quality of the tiles.

My durability rating is based on the potential to lose letter tiles. As far as "breakage" goes, it doesn't have anything to break (unless the tile board is stomped on).

Anyway, it is a great game and I'd recommend it.
