My personal review:

It works fine, builds fine.  I like how it has an "I give up" feature. :)

It's not immediately apparent what the two buttons in the upper right do, a 
tooltip of some sort would be nice (like the "About Kanagram" button).  Also, 
the Quit button is obvious to me, but would it be obvious to the target 
audience?  It may not matter as the handy dandy "X" button in the corner 
still works.  I don't have children though, I may be overthinking that.

In the configuration, Vocabularies section:  I think the ListView would look 
nicer if the second column extended to take up all remaining space.  It's the 
ResizeMode property, LastColumn makes the last column take up all remaining 
space.

There are sounds for practically everything except for a wrong guess.  Is this 
on purpose?

Also, when the input line edit is empty, the Up Arrow thingy that enters the 
guess should be disabled.

BTW, I agree that this is a compelling replacement for KMessedWords.  But I 
think a two day sojourn in kdereview is asking a little much.  I would 
suggest breaking feature freeze for kdeedu (but not for Kanagram!) so that it 
can still make KDE 3.5, but why bother even putting it in kdereview if it's 
not going to be there at least a week?

Good job though, I think this should land for 3.5 (especially since it will be 
the last 3.x release).
