An easy DIY project, the lettered tiles from the board game are simply super-glued on to a small magnet and voila -- one's kitchen is transformed into an impromptu [Scrabble board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scory). Other [lettered magnets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-building-set) have been made before, usually found in dorm rooms for leaving fun messages for friends to see when they go into the fridge for a snack, but few have incorporated the competitive aspect that accompanies the board game tiles. While the tiles are mostly just for fun, be warned that most Scrabble players take their game play very seriously, thus turning the fridge into the meeting place for some high-stakes word play. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Lettered Magnets:** The trend of creating personalized lettered magnets allows individuals to add a unique touch to their daily reminders and messages on their refrigerator. - **Competitive Fridge Games:** The rising trend of incorporating board game tiles, like Scrabble, into fridge magnets introduces a competitive aspect to kitchen decor and encourages word play among friends and family. - **Serious Word Scramble:** The trend of using Scrabble magnets on the fridge turns the kitchen into a place for serious word play, attracting enthusiasts who are passionate about the game. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the trend of DIY lettered magnets by offering customized magnet sets or pre-made magnet designs that align with different interior styles and preferences. - **Board Games:** The board game industry can explore opportunities to introduce more product variants by creating Scrabble magnet sets that cater to different age groups, skill levels, or specific themes. - **Messaging Apps:** Messaging apps can take advantage of the trend of competitive fridge games by integrating word games or challenges into their platforms, allowing users to engage in friendly competition with their contacts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Board Game Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrabble-coffee-table.md) - [Magnetic Desk Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexagon-board-game-trays.md) - [Gen Z-Focused Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrabble-together.md) - [Mash-Up Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-scrabble.md) - [Magnetic Building Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magna-tiles.md) - [Miniature Word Game Versions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-smallest-bananagrams.md) - [Mentally Stimulating Game Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-words-word-game.md) - [Reusable Magnetic Sticky Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note.md) - [Community Board Game Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-scrabble-day.md)
