I'm 68 - having a great time playing. I'm a lousy speller so most of the time at a disadvantage. I've never really won like I think I have due to misspelled words. Despite an almost no win record it's still fun and I like the speed. We've reworked the rules to include abbreviations which helps adult beginners enormously and I use the cell phone/google to look up words faster than I can flipping through a dictionary. Google can decipher my spelling and get me where I want to go.
