It's a very addicting puzler that rewards you for strategy as well as your vocabulary. [Dec 2007, p.157]

The game's got a very addictive nature, and there's a good amount of different modes (including two player battle mode) to keep things interesting. It's just a bit of a bummer that the programmers don't wean certain players (i.e. the older casual crowd) into its gameplay mechanics with a tutorial mode.
