Finding wrong words and difficult to use

I bought this game as a Christmas present for my fiance and it seemed like a good buy. After playing the game I wasn't as impressed as I could have been. WordHunt Imperfection: ================= The computer has a "WordHunt" exercise in which the computer gives a series of letters like beeps. You have to form any combination of these letters into words. The computer will give you the number of valid words to search for (7 in this example). However, this does not work. I even went as far as going to the Scrabble site and checking out my work. Only 10 words can be formed from these letters. The computer did not recognize BE as a word. I tried each of those 10 words but the computer only recognized 4. When they gave him AGAT the computer said it could form 8 words. ACATE (stone) was not recognized. When TELEX was typed, neither TEEL nor LEET were recognized as valid words. Ultimately, this word hunt is a mind reading game. You have to guess which words the computer knows and which it doesn't. As for the person who complained about the word *ITCH, I'm surprised he even knew about it. Hard to Use Buttons:===========================The buttons are small and difficult to use. They aren't labels, but they must match the letters or numbers on the screen. That takes some getting used to. Flashcards are fun:================= As I write this I am preparing for my GMAT and this flashcard game is a great way to improve my basic math skills. As you try to level up, the difficulty increases and you have less time to solve the problem. By the end, you'll develop a knee-jerk reaction and correctly answer basic math questions that can confuse you in the quantitative portion of the GMAT. and buttons, this toy can be useful for keeping your mind sharp, but it has plenty of room for improvement.
