What Makes Just 2 Words Stand Out
Every answer is just 2 words and every puzzle is just plain fun!
This is David L. Hoyt's marvelous, mind-stimulating game.
- Just 2 Words is utterly simple to play and fun for all ages.
- It is the brain child of America's most popular creator of word puzzles.
- Hours & hours & hours of fun. More than 2,500 puzzles!
- The game is perfect for those that enjoy thinking creatively and putting together picture clues!
Every puzzle's answer is just 2 words — a common pairing ("BROWNIE POINTS"), a famous person's name ("ELTON JOHN"), or a fun word combination that is forehead-slapping obvious after you figure out David's picture clues!
Super easy to play. 2,519 deliciously fun puzzles! Beautiful graphics.
And in case you are wondering . . . David L. Hoyt is the most syndicated daily game creator in the world. His most famous games include Jumble, Word Roundup, Pat Sajak's Lucky Letters, Word Winder, and many more. His games appear in 600+ newspapers, including USA Today, Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times.
"Playing this game will result in mental stimulation, increased vocabulary and hours and hours of fun." — Review by The iPhone Mom

Community Insight:
We came across this game several years ago and we love it. It keeps our brain active and is very fun. Keep them coming.
Interesting game. Shows how differently people think and interpret things. Sometimes its easier to unscramble the letters.
Good game! Capable of holding ones attention. Glad to be held.
About a year or so ago, we started doing this puzzle. It seemed daunting at first, but as time passed we got better and better. What was once difficult became more and more fun and we now start everyday with this puzzle. Keeps our old brain on its toes.
We enjoy the app immensely, 100%. Yes, some of the puzzles are a bit challenging but thats exactly what we want. Most games bore you into a coma. Theyre so repetitive. To the person who asked, Why do we have to write such long reviews to let someone know whether we like or dislike this game. You dont. YOU chose that route; Its not a requirement. Awarding only three coins to solve a puzzle is not nearly enough. Come on guys.
Love this game, but will there be updates? If not, please tell users to delete app. Like Just Two Words Plus, its not fair to leave users uninformed and the dead app taking up space.
When are new games coming? This is one of our routine games and we miss playing it.hurry back soon please, Thanks.
Fun puzzlers. Ive completed them all and want more, please.
Its been over two years. How about some more puzzles. Or should we just delete the game.
Great game! Addicting. Unfortunately its been two years since it was updated.
We've been luvin' this game for 59 years!!! We started when this game caught our eye in the Dayton (Ohio) Journal Herald when we were a paperboy delivering newspapers.
Some hard, some easy but everyone is possible to get if you think about enough. We love it.
We enjoy the game and its challenges,please continue.Thank you.
We love, love, love this app! The puzzles speak for themselves. Some are easy and some we have to think about for quite a while. Others really stump us and we need a hint after a day or so. Then we want to kick ourselves for needing a hint. Will be playing this one for quite a while.
This game is great. Some of them are complicated. Keeps the brain working.
We used them all up and they had quit making updates. We got a new iPad recently and we were able to start over. So Im starting from the beginning again.
Keep yourself brain sharp while having fun. We love these puzzles and David doesnt disappoint with creativity and challenge. We play his puzzles every day not just to keep sharp, but for the sheer enjoyment! What a great way to start each day.
Great game!! We start our day with 4 of Mr. Hoyts games. This one can be challenging at times, but thats what you want! Too hard, we hand it over to our husband and we work on it till we get it answered!! Our fear is Im going to run out of puzzles!! Thank you Mr Hoyt for the brain work out.
This is good for passing time. Not too hard, not too easy. No time constraints.
This can either be easy or hair pulling.
We play one word each morning….that way, we build our points our number is 17000 exactly C,mon Dave…need new words.
Fun to play and try to figure out how his mind works.
Is this puzzle ever coming back??? Im tired of waiting.
Its fun to come up with different interpretations of the pictures until you find the right one that matches the words in the scrambled letters.
Please advise when new puzzles will be available. Is this due to writers strike.
Like that we can kick-start our day with this. Kinda makes the wheels start.
We love this game. Some puzzles are very tricky, others very easy. We love playing and cant wait for the updates.
Long wait for favorite game. Makes our mind work and having fun at same time.
We had missed playing it. Thanks for the new puzzles.
We think it is so much fun! We love the ones that we have to struggle to figure out. It forces us to think creatively.
This is the best game ever!!! Thank you so much for making it. Keeps this 76 year old brain active.
Can't stop 5 star Can't put this game away. Always anxious for next round.
Like this game a lot! We just wish you would keep it updated. We miss playing it. Needs updated and has for months. We play one game a day to make it last. This is not first time updated needed. Please update soon please.
Mostly great, good for if youre bored and dont want to just be on insta lol. A fair bit of ads tho.
Fun to play although some of the images relationships to the words can be a stretch.
Played this game for 8 years. Love it but now they are not giving us pons for playing consecutive days! Why.
We love this game, but it has become a little too simplistic and easy. It used to be a little bit more tricky. We are genius, but we find ourselves ripping through it and racking up too many points. (2,000). No challenge there. We bet the app could make more money if they made it more of a challenge. The clues are too obvious. Occasionally we get stumped and work on it and usually saw that sometimes we have to do Davids clue. Those are our favorite ones.
Just Two Words is easy for now; we started only minutes, ago. One thing we dont like -that differs from jumble- is that we accidentally hit the star key instead of the shuffle key, and it gave us an answer. Please fix this. Thx.
Enjoyable game however occasionally the pictures do not appear to have any meaningful relationship with the two word answer.
We like the Jumble games but they should have some consistency. In some the letters go in where the breaking is you are changing their order. In other the changed ones go to the end of the word. In some of them that have a two word answer you can fill in either word first but in others the first word must be done first. Having them in either order sometimes helps with the answer.
Need to have more options to be able to move on, or get more coins so you can use clues.
Many of the pcture clues are almost incomprehensible. At times there are cities and people as the solution with no indiication that is what youre looking for.
Are more puzzles going to be added to this app or is 2519 all there will be? We have enjoyed figuring out the picture puns and am ready for more.
Too many clues are obscure. We don't want to buy clues. Initially fun, then not.
This is a pretty good app but the owner or developer is apparently not interested in keeping it updated. Its been months since the last little batch of puzzles.
This game is challenging but fun. Its just challenging enough to take your mind off of the daily grind and help you to really relax. Love it.
Hubby and we each have the app on our phones and sadly we've both completed the 2400th puzzle. Looking forward to the next additions as we enjoyed working out the puzzles with our morning coffee. On to Just 2 Words Plus! Thanks for creating enjoyable, thought provoking puzzles.
We love all of David Hoyts games! We only hate it when Ive caught up! Some words easy some take hours!! And sometimes our son helps us out! But its the start of our day and a great way to finish the day! Thank you David and arf to Daisy.
Why isnt there an option to pay to get rid of ads.
We love this game and play it every day to help keep our brain sharp.
