WebJotto is a logic / word-guessing game similar to MasterMind.
The object of the game is to figure out the computer's secret word
(generated at random) in a series of guesses. The secret word and all of
your guesses must have five unique letters.
After each guess, the computer displays the number of letters that
your guess has in common with the secret word. You then use this new
information to make your next guess, until you solve the puzzle (or give
up).
WebJotto also allows you to play one-on-one against the computer. In
this mode, the computer will try to figure out your secret word as you are
playing the game.
There is also a series of logic buttons for each letter, which helps
you keep track of whether a letter is in or not in the computer's secret
word.
In the future, I may start weekly challenges of three words. The
best scores (#guesses, total time) for these challenge words will then be
posted in the high score list.
WebJotto requires a browser that supports TABLES. It can be found at
