Can anyone recommend a large screen eletronic crossword solver

[JG1965]

Looking for a electronic crossword solver with a large screen and large buttons for my mum who recently had a slight stroke, can anyone recommend one that is not too expensive.
Thanks in advance.

They all have problems. Some will not do anagrams, and those which do do anagrams will only do 14-letter anagrams. ( 15 letter answers are not unusual) Only one will do partial anagrams as well as whole anagrams, but I can't remember which one that is. Some need expensive batteries. One of the Franklins has quite a big screen, but costs about £70 - last I heard.
Has the Consumers Association published a survey of these in "Which" magazine ? Ask in your Public Library or search the "Which" website.
Search the Amazon website. They sell everything else - I bet they sell these, too.

You could try a walk around your local Rymans or Staples etc. They usually have a selection among the calculators. Franklin seems to be the most widely known brand.

I have a Seiko ER3700 Oxford crossword solver which has big buttons and a clear screen (not enormous but quite clear and easy to read) Cost around £30. I previously had a more expensive Franklin crossword solver which I bought on line and didn't realise until it was delivered that although it provided more functions than some other solvers it had really tiny keys! Not sure if all Franklin solvers have tiny keys but be careful!!

There's this one on line, would that be any help ?

I agree completely with genthon re the Seiko Oxford solver. There's variable contrast on the display with crossword/anagram/thesaurus etc and the battery lasts a loooong time helped by auto shut-off.
I've had one for years and think it's the business.
