Toys and Games Reviews of Franklin CWP-206 Crossword Puzzle Solver
Customer Review: questionable packaging or delivery
Summary: 3 Stars
CWP-206 was purchased from Computer Brain via Amazon. It arrived very quickly by FedEx, in apparently undamaged retail packaging. Very middle of the display had black streaks which I thought was protective film. When unable to remove, emailed Franklin with picture, whose reply said display itself was damaged, not covered by warranty. I didn't pursue matter further, too much trouble as device was still usable with some extra steps. Impossible to know when the display was damaged, so where blame lies. CWP-206 is faster and has more features than its CWP-100 predecessor, but is also bigger and more clunky, not for your shirt pocket!Customer Review: Great for Crossword puzzlers
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually bought this for my 82 yr old mother - who called and said how delighted she was with the product. She especially likes the feature where she can type in partial letters and get possible solutions. She uses it to help her solve Jumbles as well. It's easy to use, has appropriate words and lots of choices. In fact, she asked me to order another one for her neighbor, who has tried many other types, but was never happy with them. Now he's a convert to this one as well. The only drawback, according to them, is the lid is a little flimsy and with lots of use, tends to come off. Other than that, they love it.Customer Review: FRANKLIN CROSSWORD PUZZLE SOLVER

MY WIFE AND I HAD THE OLDER VERSION WHICH FINALLY WORE OUT. WE DECIDED NOT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT, BUT AFTER AWHILE WE REALIZED HOW MUCH WE MISSED IT AND HAD TO BUY THE NEWER VERSION. IT HAS TONS MORE WORD SOLUTIONS, IS STURDIER AND MORE COMFORTABLE IN THE HAND THAN THE OLD ONE. THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS TINY - YOU HAVE TO CLICK THE CLEAR BUTTON TO STOP THE DEMO AFTER YOU TURN IT ON. NO BIG DEAL! IF YOU LIKED THE OLDER VERSION OR ARE JUST HOOKED ON CROSSWORD PUZZLES, FRANKLIN IS FOR YOU!Customer Review: I cheat. I use this, a dictionary and Google--but I solve the puzzle.

This works beautifully. I have not had it long enough to know how well the battery holds up but am not too worried about that. The only reason I did not give this five stars is because I had a previous edition which was in stainless steel with a soft leather case, and smaller----and thus more handy. Further I am not "digitally gifted" so I fumble about a bit in trying to open it. But it surely does a great job once I get it open. I do not regret my purchase---not one bit.Customer Review: My Dad loves it....
Summary: 5 Stars
My Dad is a crossword-aholic. I bought this for him as a Christmas gift and he has said he likes it, but I KNOW he likes it because it is sitting on his end table on top of whatever crossword puzzle he is doing. Plus I always see him using it. He's 72 and he has no trouble. I feel this is a good sign this must be user friendly. I've also heard him say "This really works!" Anyway...I'm glad I found something he likes. He's not exactly easy to buy for.
