However there are a couple of areas causing a little concern about this Scrabble Flash Cubes game. The electronic letter tiles are fine only when a single player plays. When more than one player joins in to play their small size becomes a spot of bother. The game would have been more fun and more challenging if the five letter limit in the words had been absent. It restricts the range of the game. And every once in a blue moon, the board does not acknowledge the word you have constructed. This can be frustrating. The game should be strictly kept away from toddlers for it contains small parts that can cause choking if swallowed.
