Bought this for my 78 yr old father and he is having so much trouble reading this that I'll have to return it. I wish it had a way to increase the font to make it bigger and instead of a greenish background, a white background to show the letters better. He was really disappointed as he was really looking forward to playing this.
Bought this for my dad and boss for christmas they love it. No pencil marks to erase.
Not easy or cheap to send back to repair this fault. With this in mind, I must make some advices about the overall design of it.1. if you don't use light (I must suppose) it's impossible to read nothing. Well, defective unit.
Thick as a cheap device, no other thing. Ok. I live in Spain. First, this device is only a crossword game, no other thing. clues are very cryptic, short and difficult to get it for a non-English person. Screen brights too much, reflects light as a mirror, so.
Contrast control is available, but not helps in this situation.3. It's huge.
I don't mention it as a fault, only as an advice for other non-English speak persons that, like me, want a device to practice language.I will buy it again. Light is not working.
But it works well.In the game view, I must admit, my English is not perfect, far to be. Ok.
No light.2. but.
Perhaps.
I love amazon but this product is a waste of time.The first one I ordered you could not read the screen.I returned the first one and the second one had the same problem.I called the manufacturer and they stated that they no longer make the product.As always,Amazon customer service was very helpful and they gave me a full refund.
Different skill levels and the ability to cheat make things much easier for novice and younger players. Regardless of age or skill, the "Excalibur NY21" has been a welcome addition to our family. Although originally intended for my father, a real crossword enthusiast, other members of our family have also started playing it as well. The carrying case makes it ideal for road trips and the built-in light allows for play in the dark. My sole complaint would be that the light only helps when it is completely dark, it doesn't seem to provide much assistance when it is just partially dark during the waning evening hours.
