Oh, I'm sorry about your mother! My father was the same, I know how difficult that can be. And I'm sorry to say it but the letters on Super Big Boggle seem to be the same size as in the other Boggle games. I wish I could help further, but I can't think of anything.

Unfortunately, for those with vision problems, the letters are the same size as the original game, there are just more of them.

Sorry - I just now saw this. No, they are roughly the same size. They might even be a teeny bit smaller in SUPER BIG BOGGLE

They are basically the same size, I don´t think it would be EASIER for her to see, BUT that extra line/column gives you tons of extra words for you to find. It´s a good option!

no, sorry, they are the same, there are just more cubes - including the blank and blends.

The ones I received were larger print than the original keyboard letters. Maybe they are different?

No, I bought two of them for my great grandchildren, ages 2 and 5. The love them. All the older kids in the neighborhood had them. I am 78 and I would like a larger version for me!

The tiles are about the same thickness as regular tiles, but they are twice as large and the letters are twice as big. My mom has macular degeneration and has a terrible time seeing, but can play with this set. The board is also much larger, but I wish it wasn't smooth, because the tiles move around too easy when they are bumped.

Since my Mother age 96 is losing her sight we ordered this. It helps her but there is no turntable which we had never used anyway. But there are no groves to help hold the letters so that makes it difficult as they slide and she cannot see if an ajacent space is open. My opinion is that a larger sized board implies a special need and should have all deluxe features for the sight impaired. The grids and the turntable. The larger letters help and we can still play. I wish the manufacturers knew this

I only played the original game once loved it but wanted the bigger board. In the Jumbo version the chips I think are bigger as the board is huge the colors are Blue, Red and Green. Hope that helps.

text is at a 12pt.. it is difficult for me to say can an elderly person read it. With the proper glasses, yes..

The actual display cannot be made larger but the text can. All you need to do is go to the setup section. find the section named "Display". Touch the word Display and you will be presented with a screen with 5 choices. The last choice is "Font Size. When you touch that one you will be presented with 4 choices. Small, Normal, Large, Huge. The default setting would be Normal. Touch Huge to get the largest text possible. Large Text will making the reading part a lot easier. I hope that this helps Jack

The numbers are at least a l/2 inch which is much larger than you will find on a regular size Bingo card. We have used the cards with the smaller numbers in the past, but we wanted the larger numbers so that people of every age group would have no trouble reading them. These did the trick for us. Try them, you will like them!!!!!

The physical size of the cards is the same as a regular deck of cards. The numbers and suits are very large. My mom had quite severe macular degeneration but was unable to use them. If it's for just slightly low vision, I'd stick to the regular jumbo cards.

My mother has macular degeneration and can see fairly well, but has trouble with reading or anything close or in not well lit areas. Do you think these will help her in reading? She must use her regular glasses also.

I never played the version for youngsters. I know the adult one is probably "over their heads". Pardon the pun.It can be difficult as there are questions geared to the older generation for sure.

Yes. Kind of. See this thread for the letter distributions.http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/459128/letter-distribution

Hi, I just asked my 10 yr old son this question. He showed me a regular skylander and a giant skylander. The giant skylander is about twice the size of a regular one. He has made me confused as he is telling me that the giants on the packaging stands for a game not the size. He said you need to just go off of the size of the skylander in the package. So sorry I'm not sure if this helps.

Some of numbers are very small. I wouldn't recommend for anyone with vision issues. I gave this as a gift and was told that it was very difficult for an 8 year old to complete.

I must disagree with this post. I purchased these letters and am happy to say they are large and are very easy to see. On my old keyboard ( which wasn't that old!), some of the letters were wearing out and these replacements were just what the doctor ordered. Don't ,hesitate to buy these if you need them They are great and easy to apply.

I also ordered these for a nursing home my brother is in in Arkansas and had them shipped directly to the nursing home, so, I never saw them. But, my brother says everyone loves them because they are big numbers. I even bought some poker chips(red, white, blue) and had them shipped directly to the nursing home and my brother says they are perfect to cover up the large numbers on the cards. Sorry, I could not be of anymore help.
