The letters of a joke have fallen down and been randomly scrambled. It's your job to drag them back up to their correct positions and figure out what that joke is. You can drag tiles up and down, or just tap on an unplaced tile to make it fly up to the highest unfilled position. It's fun and addictive and each game takes just a few minutes to play.
