What is Jointter?
Jointter is a daily visual word puzzle that hides a six-letter word inside a picture made of dots and lines. Your task is to find the hidden word by reading the pattern of green lines and red lines that connect the dots. It is a fresh kind of word game that blends logic, observation, and spelling into one short daily challenge.
How to play Jointter
- Open jointter.com to see the day's dot-and-line picture with the day's puzzle number.
- Study the pattern. A six-letter word is hidden in the arrangement of dots and connecting lines.
- Drag the dots to tidy the picture if you need to. Moving dots only cleans up the layout; it never changes the hidden word.
- Use the on-screen letters to spell the six-letter word, then press Submit.
- You have five attempts per puzzle, so choose carefully before submitting.
The rules of the picture
The word uses every dot and every green line, and no red ones. That is the core constraint that reveals the answer. The green lines connect the letters of the hidden word in order, while the red lines are decoys that are not part of the word. Dragging dots around only rearranges the visual layout for clarity; it does not alter which word is hidden. Reading the green path from start to finish spells out the answer.
Difficulty and daily rhythm
Puzzles get harder each day from Monday to Sunday, so the weekend brings the toughest challenges. Each day a new puzzle goes live, and the difficulty climbs through the week before resetting. The puzzle number on the page tells you which day's challenge you are on, and the day of the week is shown so you know how hard to expect the current puzzle to be.
Scoring and attempts
You have five attempts to solve each puzzle. Each submitted word that does not match the hidden word counts against your attempts, so guessing blindly can cost you the game. The goal is to read the green lines correctly and spell the exact six-letter word. There is no penalty for dragging dots to rearrange the picture, so take your time to straighten the layout and trace the green path clearly before spelling your answer.

Tips for solving
Start by identifying which dots are connected by green lines and which by red. Trace the green lines from one end to the other to read the letters in order. Ignore the red lines entirely, since they are not part of the answer. If the picture is tangled, drag the dots apart to separate the lines and make the path easier to follow. Remember that every dot and every green line must be used, which gives you a strong hint about the word's structure.
Common questions
Do I need an account?
No. Jointter can be played without an account.
How many attempts do I get?
Five attempts per puzzle.
Does dragging dots change the answer?
No. Dragging only tidies the picture; it never changes the hidden word.
How hard are the puzzles?
They get harder each day from Monday to Sunday, so the weekend puzzles are the most challenging.
What are the red lines for?
Red lines are decoys. They are not part of the hidden word. The word uses every green line and no red ones, so you can safely ignore every red connection when tracing the answer.
