Jotto - Unlimited Word Guess Hack 2.4.5 + Redeem Codes

I was happy to find this Jotto game, I used to play it years ago with my best friend. We used pen and paper then. And I wish there was someway we could mark off the letters on our guesses that are incorrect and circle the ones that are correct, Like I used to.I know I can change the colors on the board. But it’s just faster if we were able to mark our guesses right or wrong. But I really am enjoying the game and if I could do that it would be five stars or more.
Great game. Really exercises the “little gray cells.”

I reduced my rating to 1 star because my most recent word was “Waxing” which is a 6-letter word. The only way I found out that was the word was by using the Hint button because, since the words are only supposed to have 5 letters, I wasn’t even able to key in the correct word. I could only enter “waxin” which, of course, is “NOT A REAL WORD.”

EARLIER REVIEW:
I’ve been enjoying this game but already had 3 wishes for improvements: - Wanted a different color to designate double-used letters in harder levels; - Wanted no double-used letters in the lowest level, which isn’t supposed to have any; and - Wanted more words to solve for. However, since the latest update, not only is there no special color for double letters, now we no longer have the yellow designation to indicate possible letters. This is a step backward, so I’m giving a lower rating than I would have before the update. [lYellow for maybe” was reinstated, so I added a star.] The update that was supposed to filter out double letters where they don’t belong did not work. I’ve come across 2 or 3 with double letters in the Easy section, and just now my word turned out to be “MOMMY.” Please remove words with double letters from the Easy list, consider adding an additional color, or some other indicator to designate a double-used letter.

I would have given this app 4 or 5 stars... until today. Apparently it was updated overnight, and now the words guessed, which appear on the right side of the bank of letters WRAP so that they're very difficult to view and comprehend. Also the colors are too pastel and similar to one another. Hard to detect green vs yellow or even red. Hope these issues are fixed soon, especially the word wrap issue. Also hope I'll find the new version has more "difficult"-level words. I've been through them all so many times my guesses are based on memory of past words found. That's all. Thanks. I play on my iPad 3, btw.

Like WORDLE only more challenging because you have to figure out placement on your own.

For future updates, I would love to see…

Color coding I have assigned in the alphabet list reflected in the words I have guessed so far.

But most of all (and to make it most like the original game) I would like to see two-player mode where I could guess the word my friend entered while he could guess the word I entered and we would see which person could guess the opponent’s word first.

This would NOT be a “here’s my word. Now how many turns does it take you to guess it. Answer me back with the result.”

It would be either turn by turn (I make a guess on his word and I get the results, I.e., “2”. Then he send me his next guess on my word.

In my perfect world, we could play live on the same screen with me seeing his guesses and him seeing mine.

Someday perhaps it will have a portal so we can play ‘live’ with others. But as a solo game it works quite well. Coming from 50 years of pencil and paper Jotto, it took me a few frustrating moments to get used to the red-green-yellow buttons. But now that I have got it down, I am very happy to be able to play Jotto whenever I feel like it. The lone developer is kind and very responsive to questions!
(2022, years after I wrote the above, it all still stands).

Learned how to play this game back in 1973ish. My fourth grade teachers would play it during class. We would run back and forth from our classrooms with a pice of paper with a word on it. Hoping for a zero or a high # (4 or 5). My Mom was one of those teachers, today my mom and I play it almost daily over the phone; on paper.
So so Happy to have found it in an App. Mahalo for creating it for us. 🌞

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!

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”.

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!

I used to play Jotto over 50 years ago n am glad it’s not an app that u can play by itself or with another player. Great game

I do think, though, that the words u have tried should show in full ( use a monospaced font) n if u mark a letter out it should be dimmed, not just colored differently
