Jumbline 2

I really enjoy this game, and since it is free, I expect and don’t mind advertisements, however, when I’m playing this while putting my kid to sleep, it’s a little jarring when one of the loud video advertisements start blaring. I know, it’s a first world problem, but I figure I’ll just throw it out there in case you want to address it... *Just wanted to update and say that after I wrote this review, I have never had another, single, loud video ad occur again (the reason I never sent you a photo, per your request). Y’all are on the ball! And I’m still enjoying this game.

I played to level 112 and I found some words were not accepted but ok. But then I got to one level and was trying to find the longest word and I just couldn’t. Finally I though, ok, what’s up here. I finally decided to look online. The word turned out to be pawls. Yeah, pawls. A word we all know and use all the time. I looked at the definition and a pawl is a pivoted curved bar or lever whose free end engages with the teeth of a cogwheel...and so on. Well, you might lose the level, but hey! You’ll learn a word that just might take you years to work into polite conversation. It’s an ok game and with only five letters to work with, can be challenging but some of the word choices are a little weird. All in all, it can be fun.

I love this game, but not as much as I used to. Increasingly, I find that legitimate words are refused and not counted. I don’t know if my vocabulary has grown because of the game and other word games, but I do know that “sedum” is the name of a common succulent plant, but that it was refused just a minute ago. Such rejection of normal words is getting to be common in Jumbline 2 these days. It used to be that if you could form a word from the available letters in common English dictionaries - one which fits into an available blank space and which is not a proper noun, the player would be credited for it. That is frequently no longer the case, and that is no-end irritating. What’s up?

After the below posting everything was resolved. Excellent Customer Svc! 5* again! I just send an email to support. This game was a 5 star until a new ad started. 3D Digital comes up like a Google map and there is no way to end it unless you select it and go to their site or end the game and restart - hoping it doesn’t come right back up. Hope this is fixed soon. Love the game and especially that I can learn the meaning of new words and suggest others.

I have enjoyed this game for a long time, and I understand that it is paid advertising that supports the free version. But, recently the game will blast music at me even though I have the "music" and "sounds" settings turned off. This doesn't seem to be associated with any ad - noisy ads would also be unacceptable, for what it is worth. I often play at night next to my sleeping spouse and a sudden blast of sound will wake him. I guess I will look for another similar game that doesn't force sound on its players. My rating would have been (and used to be) five stars before this happened.
