Just Jumble

Well, I wasn’t quite so little, but together we worked it and it was OUR time together. I graduated from Abilene Christian University, moved back to Dallas, taught 5th grade, and when I saw the look on their faces, I knew it was time to pull down the screen and give them a break by trying to be the first to work on the JUMBLE. They had earned a break and there wasn’t one who turned it down. I think they enjoyed this brain game more than recess, and as soon as they were satisfied they had the right answer, they surrounded my desk to see who got it right first! So now I miss my fifth graders and at 70, I still play it everyday with other teacher friends. Love it, highly recommend it, but there’s a warning, if you start it, you won’t be able to give it up!!! —Crazy Gran (70!)

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 😉

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!!! ❤️❤️❤️
