Mastermind Words - Jotto for Positive User Reviews

Played as a kid, love this game.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..Version: 2.2.8

DisappointedI 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..Version: 2

Word gamesProbably better than that other word game..Version: 2.4.1

JottoPlayed this game on paper years ago. An interesting deductive game. Hoping the developers have increased the “trove” of solvable words, with the updated version. Try it!.Version: 2.0.1

Game of th year any year!Game of th year any year!.Version: 2.2.8

Need assistance with formatI cannot get the selected words to show completely on screen How do you minimize and reset so I can see the words I have selected.Version: 2.2.7

Great App for JottoI disagree with the previous reviewer, I like the manual letter marking system; it is more like real Jotto..Version: 1.5.4

Great gameLots of fun- a brain teaser to remember five letter words. In the family of mine sweeper and mastermind you have to guess a five letter word by deduction. I hope the next update will exclude words already chosen as it seems to have a limited vocabulary. Great to play at any time..Version: 1.1.1

Not like the original paper versionThere’s no way to cross out the letters that you know aren’t in the word and no way to circle or list the letters that you know are in the word, which makes it much more difficult to play..Version: 2.4.1

Wordle is for children Jotto is for real playersWordle gives you bullseye letters once you find one so you can move forward to a new guess using the found letters. With JOTTO the only advantage is that there are no limits to the guessed words..Version: 2.4.1

By Prisha bhasinI love your game it is very addictive and fun but one wish is when you tap on the letter and the yellow comes and then the green I get very confused on that so if you can fix that I am pleasured to give you 5 stars remember a little bit of editing can make everyone give you 5 stars..Version: 2.0.2

Best word gameEveryone’s obsessed with Wordle right now, but Jotto is far more challenging, which makes it more fun..Version: 2.3.1

Awesome memories of JottoLearned 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. 🌞.Version: 2.2.4

Love itGreat set up..Version: 2.2.4

Challenge a friendCan you please provide directions on how to play the game against another remotely. When a hit the button it asks for a word but then ends. How do I identify who I’d like to play and invite them to play. Thanks.Version: 2.1

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….Version: 2.4.4

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!.Version: 2.4.5

Fun from my childhoodI 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.Version: 2.2.7

Excellent gameThis 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..Version: 2.4.1

A Workout for Your BrainI was introduced to Jotto years ago, and became a fan. It’s great to be able to play against the computer anytime!.Version: 2.4.1

My favorite gameI 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..Version: 2.4.5

New improvementsThanks for allowing us to color the letters in the guesses and the keyboard. I really enjoy this game. It has the right level of challenge for me, and allows others to make it harder if they want to..Version: 2.4.1

Played this game 70 years ago. With my aunt.Fun game. Harder than Wordle.Version: 2.4.1

Love this game!A great way to improve analytical skills!.Version: 2.0.2

Great mind gameI play Jotto every night and have for years. I used to play ‘Mastermind’ as a kid and love this version with words. Hint: QUILT is a good word for modifying to guess letters..Version: 2.2.1

Done right!This version has the best selection of features, like the classic game from the 1950s. VERY satisfying..Version: 2.4.1

JennyI like this app, but there are a few things that I would change. I would only allow a certain number of guesses before you lose the round. Also, I would reserve words with two of the same letter for the advanced rounds and I would not use completely obscure words that hardly anyone has ever heard of in the advanced rounds--just use harder words to guess due to letter arrangement or repeat letters or more vowels, and somewhat harder vocabulary--not often used, but words you've heard of. I would also very much like to be able to cross off the wrong letters in the words I've guessed. To the person who said they needed a tutorial, you have to type your words from the key pad, not the squares. You use the squares to turn the letters green if you know they're in the word (tap the letter twice), and red if you know they're not (tap it once)..Version: 1.1.2

FunFun.Version: 1.5.4

Should be able to save incomplete gamesEven 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!.Version: 2.4.4

Jotto!I remember this games from childhood. Love it !! Very fun..Version: 2.4.4

Not enough wordsI 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..Version: 2.4.5

MottoI loved this game decades ago and was happy to find it for my ipad. If I had a vote, I might have included the ability to play with a friend at a distance... that would be fun. Maybe that will be forthcoming one day. For now though, I'm enjoying just playing against the computer..Version: 1.1.0

Takes me back!!!Played this as a paper-and- pencil game for hours with my bestie as a kid.Version: 2.2.8

Excellent for solo playSomeday 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)..Version: 2.2.8

FunClever little word game like mastermind with letters :).Version: 1.1.1

Like mastermind, but 5 letter wordsI 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”..Version: 2.4.4

Format confusingLove the game. Keeps me sharp..Version: 2.4.4

Very FunGreat game to pass time on a commute. Love the recent UI updates.Version: 2.4
