Checked the instructions for the pieces included. Instead of the "Qu" piece there's an extra "U". Disappointed 😞 for sure.

Excellent game for the entire family. Not only educational but really, really fun. Put my Scrabble away so I could play UPWORDS.
Great for everyone, even for kids just starting with simple words

We add to our family game library every holiday season, and this was one of our recent additions. We have always enjoyed scrabbble and other word games and this was a really fun variation of that! Once you get your mind into the fact that its 3D it really becomes a challenge but also adds a new level of fun. Highly recommend this game for any families that enjoy word games!

Game is good. Target shipped me a used game with no plastic wrap, damaged box and nothing inside was packaged either.

Similar to scrabble but I think requires different strategies since the tiles aren't point-based in the same way as scrabble. Anyway, nice addition to our board games. Kids are 8 and 10.
Great Upgrade

Glad that you went back to black lettering on white instead of the white lettering on brown. The Lazy Susan is a great upgrade too.

Unsure how to rate this one...

Pros: the fact the letters don't slide around like a traditional scrabble board is great. Good tool for helping kids with spelling. Cons: it's a small board...I understand the manufacturing logistics would be complicated to make it bigger, but I'd like that. We play a lot of board games...and have only played this once, so the bug clearly didn't bite.

Fun and challenging game for all.
Terrible quality
1 out of 5 stars
KB - 4 years ago, Verified purchaser
The quality on this terrible. The pieces are thin, cheap plastic with so many manufacturing defects that many won’t sit properly on the board because of extra protrusions of plastic. My husband is literally shaving them down with a pocket knife as we play, but many still won’t stack properly. The spinning mechanism is very clunky. The pieces come in a plastic zip-lock bag intended, apparently, to be reused. This product is very cheap and not what I expect from Target.

My husband and I play a game every afternoon and are very competitive!! We've added a rule for scoring. Each word of 6 letters earns a bonus of 10 pts., 7 letters 20 pts., 8 letters 30 pts., 9 letters 40 pts. We haven't made 10 letters YET, but we will.
A family tradition!

We have been playing Upwords for decades in my family. I do wish Target carried a more classic looking version. This is very modernized. However, the game and concept is still the same. I gifted it to a family friend and can't wait to show them how to play!

This game is fun and helps with learning words. It can be a little difficult for my 7 year old but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to play.

Bought this game for the adults in the family but my 1st grader likes trying to play, too. It's like scrabble with a twist!

We enjoyed the game but the pieces are thin and cheap for the price. I was happy I got it on a Black Friday sale for a lower price. The board swivels which is cool so no one has to look at the board upsidedown. The pieces have extra plastic hanging off them that we had to pick off so they would stack properly. Similar to scrabble but different rules so we liked it. Just wish the pieces were higher quality.

This game breaks up the screen time with remote school for my 10 year old daughter. It’s great because there’s no crazy competition like there is with other board games; we are all too busy thinking about turning our letters into words. It’s fun even without keeping score. The price definitely can’t be beat, either.
