Product Description
Words, words, words! They're the fundamentals of language. They comprise how we communicate and how effectively we can express opinions and succeed at fulfilling our dreams. One of the earliest brain teasers was the Spelling Bee. Recently, we've been experiencing an upsurge in popularity and fascination with word games.
On Broadway, people are flocking to the musical 25th Putnam County Spelling Bee. In the movies, the recent Akeelah and the Bee, and Spellbound became surprise hits with millions of fans. The primal challenge to see how many words you can spell correctly to win the game. It's the game that took over as brains rose in significance over brawn. Unlike Akeelah, who had to carry thousands of cards to practice for her Spelling Bee challenges, all you need is the Nintendo DS and Crave's Spelling Challenges and More. It's for Spellin Bee aspirants and for future literati (did I spell that correctly?).
Spelling Challenges and More! is themed around a spelling game show " where you compete for points and prizes but also is much more! Of course, there's only one winner. Will it be you? Designed for ages 6 and over ESRB is E for Everyone - Fun and educational word challenges for Everyone How many spelling errors can you find in this dscription?

I bought this game for my 7 year old son only to find out its fun for every one. It has 100 levels of spelling challenges. There are also challenges on what is a noun, adjective, verb etc. Its a great game.

When I bought this game, it's intended for my child but when I started to play with it, come to find out, it's intended for an older kid. I think it's too advanced for the age of my child but it is worth the challenge!

My 7 year old isn't much into this game. I love it and I'm 45! I think this game is perfect for 12 and up, particularly for anyone who loves to spell and be challenged. The spelling is not challenging for me but there is an area for parts of speech that one must achieve in order to advance in level. I've only played this game for an hour or so and am at level 57. I like the game but I am not totally challenged by it.
Noun, verb, adjective? June 25, 2008
It's been a long time since I took grammar in school. Some of the games here are definitely more fun than others, but as a whole it is entertaining. I don't particularly like the spelling bee portion, it is strange that it pops up the correct spelling and you just parrot it back. I prefer the spelling bee in Word Coach, where the game speaks the word and you have to spell it. I would also prefer if definitions were provided, particularly for words that you get wrong. I could also do without the scoring being transferred to a monetary prize.
Negatives aside. this is a perfect game if you have short periods of time to kill.
 fun game, not well edited June 4, 2008

This is a fun game that my kids enjoy playing. There are a variety of games and 100 levels. Unfortunately, I have found that there are some words misspelled. One example is a middle eastern bread that the game spells "pitta." I looked it up in a dictionary at home and on line, and a "pitta" is a bird, but "pita" is a middle eastern bread. It just seems like a spelling program could be a little better edited.
