Spin Master Games, Upwords, Classic Word Game with Stackable Letter Tiles, Family Board Game, Crossword Activity, 1-4 Players, for Ages 8 & Up

My family has played and enjoyed Upwords for many years. The current version is easy to use, we have no complaints about quality of components and pieces, pieces fit easily on top of each other, board moves easily so each player can see it. A new generation of players in our family is getting hooked on this board game. We let each player do their best to come up with a word and we all make suggestions if we think they can do better, so it's a fun thing not a killer competitive thing.

This is a great word game. Perfect for only a couple people. If you don't like word games, skip it.

A fun family game and teaches spelling

The letters wore off on our Scrabble version. Great game. Easy to read letters. Board has a turn table. Great game for those who love word games.

This game is like Scrabble taken to the next level. What fun to be able to stack letter tiles over existing tiles to form new words. And then keep on stacking the tiles! I bought this for my daughter but have become addicted to it myself. You can easily play this game solo and it is just as much fun. I like how large the letter tiles are and that the playing board has a Lazy Susan design so you swivel the board to face you. Nicely constructed and durable game.

Both harder and easier than it looks….. my eighty three year old mother and I play this nearly every day and it’s never been boring! Good quality board and pieces. You can take a break, leave the board, and just come back later. That’s one of my mom’s favorite things about the game! This keeps older minds busy and sharp and helps younger minds stay focused and engaged. Besides, it’s fun!

I probably have over 50 games. The ladies on my street come over every Friday night & we play board & card games. This is a 2-4 person game. I have had the game for several months, but since there are usually 5 or 6 of us, it has not been played often. We played it last night & again today. Four of us last night & we all enjoyed it. Ladies in their 60’s, 70’s & 80’s. Today it was just 2 of us. I really like word games & love this game. It really gives your brain a work out. I think it is my favorite word game. The tiles fit nicely onto the board. The letters are easy to read. Black letters on white tiles. Letters are clearly marked with a line showing the bottom of letters that could be confused such as W & M. The board is just the right size; not too big or too small. It is on a lazy susan which is nice. The board is small & easy to move without the letters sliding off, so we often just moved the whole board over to the next player. The racks are sturdy & hold the tiles perfectly. They are all in one piece which we appreciate (Rummikub we are talking about you). The only improvement I would make is to add a cloth bag for the letter tiles. They are in a sturdy plastic bag. If you like word games, pick this one up.

Gifted to a friend. Long time Scrabble players, she and her family experienced some confusion at first, but finally figured out the differences and now enjoy playing. Was a long time favorite for me and I was glad to share this with them. Affordable, easy to play and score, no screens or electronics!

Missing the board's base in the box. QC needs improvement.

My wife and I love playing Upwords. It’s a brilliant family word game, offering a clever strategic twist compared to Scrabble thanks to the stackable letter tiles. Easy to learn, endlessly replayable, and perfect for anyone who enjoys strategy board games or word puzzles.

A good twist on a callsic!

Fun game and educational

Great game Can be played with mixed levels of players and still be a competition
