Jumbline 2 4+

An almost perfect word game

I love this game. I have played a ton of word games on iOS but most that claimed to allow you spell all possible words for your letter tray usually had a very limited vocabulary and it was extremely frustrating to play them. Jumbeline 2 has the largest vocabulary of any of them I have played, save only Scrabble. It does have some weird choices of words it supports and makes distinctions that that seem odd but the are tolerable enough. The example here is that they allow the words “orc” and “orcs” and the dictionary says something to the effect of a fictional creature from Lord of the Rings trilogy. If that is the distinction then why stop at orcs and not include other words such as “ent” etc. At any rate it’s a small quibble. Probably my only other observation is that the game seems to forget that I have accomplished many achievements, especially when restarted so when I start a new game I get rewarded over and over again which for some reason bothers me but that probably says more about me 😄. Love the game and highly recommend it.

I love the challenge of these word games! I am totally addicted to trying to better myself. It helps me to think faster and "out of the box." Hopefully it will also help keep dementia out of my vocabulary! Only problem-they don't accept a lot of words that are so ordinary and accepted by some of their other games. I have even sent in some of the words that I think they should accept and they're still not accepted! Lately there are too many adds! Worst problem is that an ad comes on and then will not disappear and I have to delete the game!
Recently the screen went black, soI tried to delete it and get a new one, but it still is coming in black! What gives?

Fun But not Consistent

I am actually giving this app 3 1/2 stars. Not all the words used in everyday language are accepted. There are words from very old dialects used. In other cases proper nouns are used, but not all. In some cases, suffixes are used. However, not all of them. This is a fun game, but be aware that whoever created this game isn't a wordsmith. Just this last game, the following words weren't allowed... devein, stat, and stats. Still worth playing. After playing for over a week, the company definitely needs to expand their vocabulary. 🙄 Good grief.

Seriously, if you are going to allow proper nouns, then all should be allowed. If you are going to use suffixes and prefixes, then all should be allowed. If you are going to allow acronyms, then all should be allowed. I couldn't believe the word reflow wasn't allowed, as in changing the flow, or to flow backwards. It's in the dictionary for Pete's sake, and not a difficult word.
