      We all know what Junior Scrabble was. Why not make a Lexulous for all the little rebels across the globe?

          @sakamvari Good idea no offense but, this is the internet, who would decide how old these "kids" are. Who would keep the stalkers or worse out? They sure can't play in the lobby here..

            A nice thought! I do think it would be a very big project for Lexulous to take on - impossible IMHO to "adapt" the existing software to accommodate a Junior version ('Colorful picture clues on the board', 'Character tokens to track your score' etc).

            I agree with 'betterlate' that keeping the kids safe is an issue. In addition, it is not a game for people to play anonymously as we do here. It is very much a family game for youngsters who will require continuous input from a parent.

            I did, however, find a Junior Scrabble app (disclaimer: I haven't investigated it at all, I don't do Apple or indeed cellphone apps of any sort), thus:

              @mistertoad Pardon me toadie- I am so against kids online for more than school work and a few minutes to an hour of fun. Internet is nowhere for kids to be. Also causes kids to withdraw and stay uninvolved. Too many sickos.

                rae@betterlate1-0 That's a good point. I was thinking of a junior Scrabble without a forum, and no ads (meaning you pay for the subscription), all with parental approval. If I remember, JUnior Scrabble was age 12 and over.

                And you're right about kids and the internet. They should be out in the sunshine, or bashing boys with snowballs. The JUnior Scrabble idea was mainly to find a way to turn kids on to words, reading, communicating in their language, getting a wide vocabulary, etc.

                  @amy-hall My kids grew up to be scrabble freaks and my grandkids are doing the same. Parents, grandparents have to be involved with the kids (my kids and grands do not play online they play here or at their house) Can't leave kids to the computer as babysitters. (hope the did not offend you was not intent. Words look a lot different in here as compared to speaking in person

                    @betterlate1-0 I grew up watching everybody reading all the time. They did the daily crosswords and the Scrabble marathons until 2am with the neighbors who made their own rules. So by the time I learned to read, I excelled, only because reading was all around me 24 hours a day.

                    I knew a woman in her forties who had never been to a library. Tragic.
