Jotto Game

[bu liao qing]

There's going to be two players in this game. We have a 5 letter word in mind (with all the letters unique), and we each take turns guessing each other's words. After each guess, the other person tells how many letters were correct (order does not matter). Whoever guesses the other person's word correct is the winner. Just sign up below to play the game. I will be your opponent.
By the way, the words have to actually be words. So, "regal" or "smile" are okay, but "jgikd" or "asdfg" are not.

To be honest, Jotto games depend on luck sometimes. I've played some games where I guessed close to the correct word on first try, and those games were significantly easier.

I eliminated the letter "e" for some reason early on

Fun game though

It does take a good amount of knowledge on vocabulary to play one of these games well. Even if the words are simple, we do need to make connections between them.
