Jottly is a home for word and letter-deduction games. Start with a favorite, discover something new, or build a game nobody has played before.
Play
Some games reveal green and yellow tiles. Some give only a number. Some move the secret word after every guess. Each one begins with a clear rules sheet, then gets out of your way.
Play solo whenever you have a minute, challenge a friend on your own schedule, or jump into a game someone shared with you.
Familiar green and yellow feedback for every letter. Fast, direct, and easy to jump into.
Learn how many letters match and how many are perfectly placed, but not which ones.
One score tells you how many letters match. Every useful deduction is yours to make.
Green and yellow clues meet a moving target that keeps honoring everything you have learned.
No words, just letters. Crack a four-letter vowel code in this quick logic game.
Build
Remix turns every game into a starting point. Change the word length, clue style, target behavior, hints, constraints, abilities, and ending rules. The preview changes with your choices, and Try It launches the real game immediately.
Those choices combine into millions of possible games, from tiny two-letter experiments to deep deduction challenges. Keep the ones that are fun, give them a name and icon, then edit or remix them whenever inspiration strikes.
Begin with a game you know instead of a blank canvas.
Build, play, adjust, and try again without leaving Jottly.
Save your creations alongside games shared with you.
Share
Send a favorite to a friend so they can jump right in. Play it solo, challenge each other, save it for later, or put your own spin on it.
Explore Popular & Featured games from the community, discover new ways to play, and make the good ideas your own.
Get better
Green tiles, matching-letter scores, moving targets, and custom twists each reward a different way of thinking. Read the strategy guide for a practical starting point.
The maker
I build software for a living, and I love it. I've been fortunate to work on some of the most widely used apps in the world, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Acrobat. I also build small apps of my own, like the one this page is about.
I enjoy playing and designing word games, and I thought you would too. Jottly started with one game and grew into a place to play, build, and share many more.
I read every email and reply when I can. Drop me a line.
