I don't know if this program was designed to be an educational program or not, but it reminds me of an educational program. This demonstration version only has 5 word sets, but the registered version has 500, and it can be updated via the internet.

You can either choose 7 random letters, [well, actually the computer chooses them] or you can choose a particular word set from the list, decide what would be the highest scoring word, [and the scores are on the right side of the screen so you don't have to memorize them], type it in the box, and submit it. Then you can either pick another word, or see the correct answer, [naturally the computer knows the absolute highest scoring word] The help file wanders around with small explanations and an arrow, which is another reason why this feels like it was designed for kids, cause they don't have to wade through a long help file with sub-titles and everything.

However, I gotta warn ya, it's hard, especially if you and proper spelling are only occasional acquaintances, like I am. That's not to say it's not entertaining, just hard for us phonic spellers!
