Hi,

How do I get to this puzzle?  I’ve been using an old shortcut to the Jamie’s Jumble…which still worked tonight.  That got me to puzzles still called jumble without the much desired keyboard.

Thanks

The (new) link is in the first post in this thread, which also explains the name change of the game.

Just a fluke ... and a couple of lucky (lucky?  inspired , maybe) guesses.

I think I'll change "Failed" to "Missed" - Failed seems too harsh,

Mark - 8 & 7 seconds! Nice!  And pretty rare I would think.

Thanks for sharing.

I remember someone had the strategy to use the entire alphabet.  I think it does take longer when you need to submit real words.

This is likely to be a constant refrain from me ...

Some days it flows. Other days it moves glacially

Hmm, I'm wondering when challenging someone - is a minute enough of a penalty when missing a word?  Should we add a higher score for solving it in fewer tries?

I won’t be! Just the usual 14 hours ahead. 
I love my Scrabble and Word Chums, but I’m not very good at ‘mystery word’ games.  I’m trying to work up the courage to try this….

Hopefully we'll have a few other options running shortly.  A daily - what we have now, a random so you can play as much as you like and a challenge - where you can challenge someone else.  All words currently used have been wordle approved.  And remember - you don't have to guess a word - you can use any letters you like!

It's still best on desktop - we'll be working on a more mobile friendly version in the near future.

And remember - you can use any letters - no need to guess words. 

We still need to work on the more mobile friendly version and we're close to a  "challenge other users" version.

Got lucky on a few:
