People buy Pez candy because of the cool, unique dispenser. Similarly, what sets Smart Mouth apart from other word games is its letter dispenser.

The game itself is not particularly innovative as far as word games go. The dispenser ejects two letters. Players race to think of a word that starts with one letter and ends with the other. Older players restrict themselves to words of five letters or more.

The budget-minded might be better served by buying a deck of letter cards (e.g., Alphablitz, My Word Junior, Royalty) with which you could play this and many other word games. But then you'd be missing out on the cool letter dispenser....
