Word Joust – Word Game Review
Word Joust is a Word/Puzzle/Lifestyle game from Asher Perlmutter, first launched in 19th February 2018.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 49+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Word Joust Stand Out
Word Joust with your friends, family, or random opponent by sending a word for them to guess. Make sure to pick a good one, because once they accept it’s a race to see who can guess the opponent’s word first.
Word Joust will let you know how many letters in your guess are in your opponent’s word. It’s up to you to use that information to crack the code and defeat your opponent!
START a game by selecting a word, joust mode, and opponent type.
SELECT a friend from your list or invite others to play.
MAKE a new friend by using random joust mode.
FORM your strategy with your guesses and keyboard highlights.
WIN the game and show off how smart you are.
This Word game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We have this two stars for the fun idea, but we dont have a Facebook account, so we tried to use our phone number, but Ive tried many times and every time it says phone number sign up failed. Check your phone number and try again. We want to use the app, but it wont let us.
Great reviews but we used our FB account and it wouldnt accept our phone. Their site is useless for support and our friends cant play with us. FB isnt a trusted source anymore and this app has no options.
Requires a phone number. We type phone number. Nothing happens, keyboard still covering half of screen. Cant click anything to make keyboard go away. Appears to be a button under keyboard; cant click button.
Legit the most addicting game Ive played in a LONG time- all our friends are now converts and getting competitive on it. Been playing for a while now and never gets boring, tons of fun and gets your brain thinking too. We couldnt recommend it more highly, you have to download now so that you can play it yourself.
We didn't think anything could top Time Tap, the first app in this series, but boy was we wrong.
Solid game, we're trying to quit the addiction but we always end up getting a new challenge or telling ourselves "this is the last game today".
THIS GAME IS PURE GOLD. Best new word game since Words With Friends!!!! Even better than candy crush! Super addicting (but not so much that it keeps you up at night). Brings out the competitive nature in your least competitive friends. We like that you only have 24 hours for each move so that your friends cant leave you hanging.
Had the opportunity to beta test Word Joust. One of our favorite apps. Period. Our friends and we are seriously addicted. We enjoy it most in person with friends because each game takes a good amount of thinking and games can run too long if your opponent isnt giving it their full attention. There is quite a bit of skill involved in Word Joust, and enough luck to keep us coming back and trying to prove Im the best among our friends.
