Seiko Electronic Spell Checker (WP1010)

Plus, the WP1010 makes learning fun, with 10 word games and three skill levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) to keep you sharp. The games range from traditional favorites like Hangman, Jumble, and Memory to crossword-related puzzles like Crossword Quiz and Crossword Solver to speed tests like Against the Clock. And should you come across a word that confuses you at a specific point--such as the vowel mishmash in "bivouac"--simply enter the wild card mode. The function lets you enter a question mark at the point of confusion and then offers several suggested completions. The wild card mode is particularly handy when solving tough crossword puzzles.

Though the WP1010 is primarily a spelling corrector, it also includes a built-in calculator that adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides numbers as large as 12 digits long. Other convenient extras include a series of automatic conversion and reference tables, including conversion from your home currency (U.S. dollars or U.K. pounds) to other currencies, metric conversion, and clothing size comparative tables for men, women, and children.

Additional features include a 20-character display, a demo mode, and an adjustable screen contrast. The WP1010 runs for roughly 1,000 hours on a single CR2032 battery and measures 4.17 by 2.76 by 0.51 inches (W x H x D). It's also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
