Jungle Jumble Guide
Written by mizbee1976
This is a pretty simple game – sort of like wheel of fortune. First thing you spin the wheel. Assuming you
don’t land on bankruptcy, you see a point value. This is how many points you will get for EACH of the letter you choose from the alphabet. For instance, you land on 8pts. You choose “E”. There are three E’s in the puzzle. You get 24pts. You can get up to three strikes, or three wrong guesses before you loose. If you spin and it lands on bankruptcy, you loose all your scored points AND it counts as a strike. Hopefully with my guide you’ll be able to just get strikes from landing on bankruptcy and not from incorrect guesses.
The pictures are of jungle animals doing various things. The answer to the puzzle is supposed to be like a caption for the picture. Some pictures will have more than one caption (for instance you play many times, and sometimes you get the same picture, but it’s a different puzzle.) Some of them are a play on words – like “flower pedals” instead of “flower petals” and you have a picture of a large flower with bicycle pedals coming out of it. (Don’t they serve wine with the cheese? Haha!) Anyway the ones that are supposed to be a play on words will have an animal holding a sign that says “Is it here?” or “Could it be here?” The other pictures won’t have signs, and that is your clue that it’s one of the other answers. They’re fairly obvious, you’ll figure which answers go to which pictures fairly quickly.
You can send your score at ANY POINT during the game. Note that doing so will end the puzzle you are currently working on. I don’t think you get extra points for actually completing it anyway though. I found that I landed on bankruptcy quite frequently. I found that when I got up to around 150 points that was a good time to send my score because I usually get bankruptcy fairly soon afterward. Another strategy to score max points is once you know what the answer is, wait until you get a high point value before guessing letters that you know there are multiples of in the puzzle. For example, if you know there are 5 S’s, wait until you spin a 20pt value or higher before guessing “S”. The most you can spin is 30 pts, and the least is 1.
