Jumbline 2+ for iPad

Not a fair word being foreign.

I have tried several anagram games, dropped most, still play a few. But through the years, Jumbline has stayed my favorite. I only like untimed games because I play for relaxation and often while watching TV or listening to a podcast. Jumbline allows choices of level of difficulty and timed or not. The format is tidy, lined up. The game works perfectly both on my iPad and Android cell phone. This is the best deal ever for a paid game: pay once and then not ever again. Perfect!

These developers make pretty games, and they run very well. If you choose the expert words at the seven letter longest word you are going to be challenged. The only gripe I have is the dictionary. At least half the time when I ask for a definition it wants to take me on to the internet. If you’re going to do the dictionary then do all the words this half and half thing drives me nuts.

I completed 1184 levels in the 6 letter game. When I first started playing I would use cheats if I couldn’t find the big word. About level 200 I decided that I would quit doing that. I learned that if I quit playing and then came back later, I could usually figure out the word. So I got to level 1185. I couldn’t figure out the big word so I clicked on the button that I thought would take me to the next level. I was asked if I really wanted to quit the game and I said yes. So what happened? I was taken back to level 1 to start over again. Who knew that all those levels were part of ONE GAME! I wouldn’t be so ticked if I would have understood that. I went back and read the description of the game and it is unclear that each level is only a part of ONE game. Anyway this is just a little information for someone who wants to play this. I don’t really want to start over so I’m debating on whether or not to continue playing. Yes, I could play the 7 word puzzles or the 6-expert but I wanted to see how many levels I could achieve. Oh well, I like the game, er “levels”… but the lack of clear instructions cost it a star.

When was the last time the word list was updated? Why is the plural of a word OK, but the singular is not? Ex: Angoras = GOOD! Angora = BAD! Even when you tap the word for the definition and the definition is singular!! I love this game, and play it daily, but many of the word choices are just out there. And others that should be there are not. Ive lost count of how many times I’ve submitted a word. Nary a response, and never added to the list <just crickets>. Might be looking for a new game soon.

I was hooked on the old version on my iPad 4 and kept playing even though I had to shut it down and restart for each level. Finally caved with the new iPad and the latest version of Jumbline. Noticed three things that I wish were same as the old. Such as touch a letter and a jump to the end, running history tally of scores and adjust time to 2 1/2 minutes. Especially would like to select time, 2 minutes or no minutes not good enuf.

There are so many everyday words you don’t allow but you use all these electrical and chemical words that no one ever uses except perhaps scientists! What is the purpose? Expand the vocabulary and ditch the technical terms!!

I play this frequently while relaxing and passively watching tv in the evenings. It works flawlessly. The words are family friendly. Not too easy and not too hard. It’s quite enjoyable.

I love how you can choose how big the words get, what word list to use, and love the untimed mode. Small details I like: -Yummy-sounding music and chords increasing in key depending on the length of the word -The chord you get when finding the biggest word (That's gonna be my ringtone) -The Star Tower (I wonder where the bricks come from) -The puffy, rosy clouds in the Cloud Pop Mode -The ability to see the clouds you missed The DELICIOUS-looking tiles (I wonder if they're made out of cosmic matter?) -Those tiles seem much more delicious than the ping-pong balls in Text Twist -The fact that the game's setting is not a blue background, or a red background, but THE SKY! -Heck, even the 'incorrect' sound is pleasing! You did good. No, I didn't mean to say “well”. You did good for the iOS game community. Keep it up, guys!

Love this game with its options of word size. It really makes you think and I have been often surprised by how many words are often spelled with the letter combinations. Highly recommend it!
