Just Jumble 4+

Update: could you please add a feature to shuffle the letters in the 4-word puzzle? Say, by making the red and yellow arrow that pulls down all the letters into a “shuffle” button when no letters have been selected?

I used to solve Jumble just to p*ss off my uncle (just kidding)!!! There were puzzles that he would be stuck on for days but I could not solve them because he would hide the newspaper. I started copying them onto a piece of paper, solving them and telling him the final answer. Irked him to no end, but we began to have a mutual respect for each other. He then started sitting by me and we would solve them together! Good times!

I wish there were a way to go back and do all the bonus puzzles that I skipped over. Even though solving 4 words only gives you one point, it's still fun and gives your brain a much needed workout 😉

As a kid, I played this with my parents when it was in the comic section of the newspaper. We competed to see who could figure out the picture-pun the quickest. The gameplay is a bit different than the newspaper version, but it’s every bit as fun as I remember, and it brings back some great memories. And it’s clear that they’ve put a lot of thought into the implementation. While the words can be hard to figure out, the gameplay is intuitive and fun. A feature I’d like to see added, is ability to easily shuffle the bonus words. You can shuffle them by shaking your device, but that’s not a great solution when you’re in bed trying to fall asleep. I emailed the developers to request a “shuffle-button” and they responded the next day saying that they’d considered it, but they thought it would make the game too easy. That doesn’t really make sense to me since they already give you a way to shuffle them, just not in a user-friendly way. Another feature I’d like to see is a back button. As it is, you can only go forward in the game to the next puzzle. It would be nice to have the ability to go backwards to review a puzzle or even have somebody else try a particularly good one. If they add those features, I’ll amend my four star review to a five star review.

On some days at work, I sometimes find the original JUMBLES puzzles in the comic section of the PLAIN DEALER newspaper and I found some of them very challenging and fun to do. I had no idea that there was a JUMBLES app for the iPhone and the iPad. I first downloaded this app on my iPhone and began solving some puzzles. I was instantly hooked from the start. Minutes later, I downloaded the app on my iPad. Now, I have the app on both devices.

Getting back to the app, JUMBLES is a fantastic app to play, because not only this is a fun puzzle to play, but it can be challenging and encourages me to do some thinking. Some solved answers are funny, too! This is a great app for everyone to play.

To the creators of this fantastic JUMBLES app: please continue to come up with newer puzzles (I have such a long way to go, though). I plan to be playing with this app for a long time. Love it...love it...LOVE IT!!! ❤️❤️❤️
