Hasbro Launches Scrabble Flash Tiles Game

Hasbro launched a new game called Scrabble Flash at this year's Toy Fair in New york City. Three different games can be played with Scrabble Flash. In the "Flash" game, players try to find as many three to five-letter words as possible using the letters shown on the tiles. Five seconds are added to the play clock for every five-letter word formed. Five Letter Flash has players rushing to find the one five-letter word that uses the letters shown on the tiles. The game continues if the correct word is unscrambled. There is also a group game called "Pass Flash" where players take turns forming five-letter words.

Scrabble Flash uses SmartLink Technology, which allows the five electronic tiles included in the game to "talk" to each other. When the Scrabble Flash tiles are lined up to create a new word, the tiles will light up and beep. Scrabble Flash tiles also keep time and score.

Scrabble Flash will go on sale this Fall. The MSRP will be $29.99.

Update: Scrabble Flash is available at Amazon.com.
