Jotto

Jotto (or Giotto) is a word game. Each player picks a secret word of five letters, and they take turns guessing the other's word. When you guess a word, you find out the number of correct letters, but not their positions. So if you guess PEACH and the secret word was OTHER, you get a reply of 2 (for the E and the H, even though they're in the wrong positions). The name of the same computer game is Josho.
