Tile Lock Scrabble

Just the job. Nice chunky tiles, don't feel at all fragile, neither does the board. Had the original many, many decades ago and it was always frustrating when the tiles started to degrade and lose their pegs. This revamp has been turned on its head and the pegs are actually little bobbles on the board, so that won't happen now. The box isn't as strong as they were in the olden days, but I think that doesn't really matter. Excellent. Quick delivery too.

Hours of fun but the main object was the tiles staying in place when the board was turned around. It is slightly smaller than a normal board but takes no time to adjust to this size.

My husband is very ill. It was very important to get a scrabble board that the tiles could be secured in place.The only negative is that the board and tiles are not the same size as the original scrabble board, too small.Any chance manufacturer of this scrabble could take this negative point and turn it into a positive. I have no doubt their sales would improve six fold.

Bought this set as it was on offer to replace our 30 year old set which had a missing letter. Tile lock idea seemed good, but the plastic tiles didn't easily fit into the board and didn't really lock! The set is smaller than our original one, and doesn't even come with a score pad. The whole thing just seemed cheap-looking and poor quality for something that cost £30 when on sale. We returned it and bought missing letters from ebay for our old set.Very disappointing, seem to be trading on the brand name to provide a cheap product at high price.

Any Scrabble enthusiast will have at one time or another become frustrated by the editions where the tiles move around, where the cat can walk over the board when you are one round from the end etc. So the idea of a version with slots fills a much needed demand. I have an old Travel Scrabble which is ideal as the letters literally slot into the board and you can overturn it.This one is a disappointment. Even the box is not designed in the normal way and once you have opened it is liable to break quickly. It is better than nothing in that the design of the board restrains the letters somewhat but they don't slot in and lock. The product looks cheap in every respect, the tiles are smaller than the standard ones and there is poor colour variation between the double and treble blue squares. It is overall smaller than the standard which means that the letter holders are smaller. The only thing about it that is not cheap is the price at £30.

We have been using an old fashioned travel scrabble where the tiles fit in easily. We bought this one thinking it would be the same only bigger. Certainly the board and tiles are bigger, but the tiles are more difficult to place on the board and have a habit of jumping out. We used the old set of a plane but there is no way that this set would be suitable as we would be losing the tiles on the floor. We think if is expensive for what it is.

Bought to replace a very old and much used version of 'Travel Scrabble'.This version is different with larger tiles, and its easier to place the tiles between the pegs than it was to place tiles into holes (especially when some of the tiles began to lose the little legs which were prone to break off as the tiles aged).So, after it's first use with four players I am very impressed with the design and sturdiness of this version, and look forward to many years of use.

I bought this Scrabble game because I particularly wanted one that kept the tiles in place. I've had the original Scrabble game for years but a little nudge can ruin a game. The board as a plastic back so it's nice a rigid and the tiles lock into place on the board. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and it's excellent value for money.
