Done Wordle? Try This One-minute Word Game
Joggle is a word game of one-minute brain-teasers.
Joggle is an mildly cerebral word game for iOS and Android. Each one-minute game requires you to solve one crossword-style clue. The clues range from very easy to very difficult, depending on the Level selected via Settings. All clues have six-letter answers.
How to Play
You get a clue and a six-letter word. Like this:
You have to solve the clue within one minute by replacing two tiles in the given word. Here’s how it’s done:
The clues offer three levels of difficulty:
FUN: Easy clues, and the two letters that you must replace are underlined:
WIZ: Easy clues, but there’s no hint i.e. underlining. If you want a hint, double-tapping the screen reveals it.
PRO: Difficult, New York Times or U.K. cryptic level clues. These take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of them, immensely satisfying (A handy guide to tackling these can be found here).
Where to Find it
You can download Joggle free on the iOS App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/id1622331915) and on the Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appinitio.joggle&pli=1).
Earning, Burning Coins
When you install Joggle, your game wallet comes preloaded with 200 coins. You also get a daily bonus of 20 coins as long as you open the app.
You earn coins by solving puzzles — the fast you solve them, the more coins you earn. Also, you can earn more coins when playing harder levels. If you fail to solve a puzzle, you lose coins.
Your challenge is to earn more than you burn. You can buy coins if you run out of them (or earn them by watching ad videos via the wallet screen), but winning coins by solving the clues fast is way more satisfying!
Push-ups For The Brain
Thinking games like Joggle help keep the mind sharp. Joggle can also be a good learning and teaching aid. English learners can use it to expand their vocabularies. English teachers can use it as a fun way to engage students.
Word games and crossword puzzles are known to sharpen analytical and comprehension skills, and help improve memory in players of all ages. Joggle-style puzzles can be especially beneficial for seniors: Numerous studies suggest that engaging in mentally stimulating activities helps improve cognition and reduce the risk of developing dementia.
Another good thing about Joggle is that you can play it whenever you have a minute or two — each puzzle takes only a minute, and solving it provides an instant dopamine boost! It really feels like little push-ups for the brain.
