Color differentiation issue
Everything is good about the game except the colors. Cannot differentiate easily between the red, and so-called yellow?
Love but can be better
I love this game but the words repeat often
Don’t waste your time
Utter rubbish
My favorite game
I loved Jotto as a child an am addicted to this game. I wish it had a way to clear the alphabet grid when it is obvious you have isolated wrong letters. The dictionary seems lacking a bit. I have played so much, I’m going thru the words all over again. Im glad to see the game is still being updated. It’s good brain exercise.

Thank you or the review! I added a massive word package in the latest version :-)
Too Quick to Cost Money
We played Jotto for years when we camped and Loved it! I was over the moon when my daughter sent me this game, BUT, almost immediately they wanted to charge to upgrade. I accidentally bypassed the instructions, but knowing how to play, I surged ahead. Once I used up hints, I was unable to get more help without paying. I will continue playing the game trying to see what I am doing wrong and why I can’t play against her, but if app is a money-grabber I am done.

Hi Mia2Many, Thank you for your rating! You can absolutely keep playing the app for free, there is no need to pay for the upgrade if you don't want to. The optional $4 one-time upgrade fee helps me develop the app further.
Rubbish

J. taught me Jotto!
In 1970, I had just arrived in the US and I knew a woman grad student, whom I’ll call J. She was a word wizard ( (Example: she rearranged the fundamental one line ethos of The New York Times, which was ‘All the News That is Fit to Print’ and created a mock and a sarcastic criticism of their woke credo: “All the News that Print to Fit!”). She taught me Jotto! And, I have played it forever since 1971!

Love it but
Would love to be able to easily slide letters around when trying to unscramble the word.
If guessed words showed red and green for letters known, that would be helpful. Then I will pay🙂

Hi Perkyparent, Thank you for the review. You can turn this on in the settings!
Not enough words
I agree with other reviewers that the bank of words is far too small. It seems like the developer is not listening. Nice graphics on this and huge potential as it works just like the paper version. But words start repeating very quickly and one soon has the word bank memorized. Despite the statement that the largest update increased the word bank, it is still very small.

Love the app, not the way it tells me I have picked a word that’s not on its list.
I really, really like this app. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the way it tells me “not a real word” when I know it IS a real word. Makes me gnash my teeth every time. Why can’t it just say “Sorry, not on my list”? This happens multiple times during a session. GRRR!
I still like the app a lot and continue to play it often.

Thank you very much for the review! I have heard others mention the color issue and will definitely address this in the next update. I also agree with the double letter words and I will get rid of those.
Fun game but some curve balls
“Gloze”? What kind of word is that?? It took me 24 tries to figure out this word I’ve never heard in use? I like this game for the most part but not when I have to guess a word I’ve never heard before…
Jotto!
I remember this games from childhood. Love it !!
Very fun.
Very fun.
Format confusing
Love the game. Keeps me sharp.
like mastermind, but 5 letter words
i have been looking for a 5-letter word mastermind game for a long time now. Thank you for writing it. It seems the settings have improved since I last reviewed it. Now you can pick your difficulty level. The starting difficulty is easy, which is just normal 5 letter words. Today, i got “camel”.
Should be able to save incomplete games
Even back in the pre-Internet days when jotto was simply a game you played with pencil and paper it was always the best game for highly intelligent people. The only thing I would add for this version is the ability to save a game that is not complete for a later play. Otherwise it's terrific!
Almost
The one improvement I would recommend is the ability to guess words that have repeat letters. Example “sassy”. If the letter’s’ is correct, that would account for 3 by itself.
Even if the final word is restricted to words without duplicate letters, clue words should not have that restriction. Perhaps the coder could include this as an option.

Great game Few Words
I paid for a game that after a very short while The words are already repeating. There should be updates with the new words constantly added.
I would like a refund it’s just not worth the money

Excellent game
This is like a better form of Wordle for me (it’s like Worlde but if you only got yellow blocks). It’s a game I can spend hours playing, it is simple and perfect, and it’s a clever concept so you can refine your strategies. It’s a good skill but not impossible - like a perfect balance. Highly recommend.

A Workout for Your Brain
I was introduced to Jotto years ago, and became a fan. It’s great to be able to play against the computer anytime!
