of educational needs. Teachers and parents can provide lists of
spelling words, science terms, geographic locations, etc. which the
students will then use in their word games. Students may also allow the
computer to choose words and word lists from Word Stars 2.0's built-in
dictionary of over 127,000 words. Some games also allow the student or
