[Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-2) works together with [TED Talks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ted-shorts) to launch the TED Tumblewords game. It is a word puzzle game that challenges players to think critically and add one letter at a time. It is set to officially release on November 19th and it is a twist on the familiar [word-puzzle games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeezy1) on the market currently.

Players are to rearrange the various letters on the board into words and for each clever connection, they are rewarded. They can play on their own or with other players as the perfect way to unwind after work or just through a commute. It is developed with short bursts of focus as it only takes a few minutes to crack the code and new challenges are available every day.
