A new mobile game called TED Tumblewords is on the way, offering a mix of bite-sized word puzzles and TED-inspired trivia designed to give players both a mental workout and a quick dose of knowledge each day.

The core gameplay challenges players to string letters together to form words, but with a twist. Instead of simply picking letters, you’ll need to slide and spin letter cubes, matching colors and forming words to clear each puzzle. This adds an extra layer of strategy to what looks like a fun and accessible brainteaser.

As puzzles are completed, the game also unlocks TED-themed trivia, offering nuggets of knowledge alongside the vocabulary boost. The trivia is intended to make the game feel like a blend of entertainment and learning, in line with TED’s reputation for ideas worth sharing.

TED Tumblewords features several modes. The Daily Six asks players to find six words for a high score, while competitive players can join multiplayer battles against others or challenge themselves against the in-game TED puzzle bot. The mix of solo play, trivia, and competition aims to keep the experience fresh for casual and dedicated puzzlers alike.

The game will be available on iOS and Android, with pre-registration now open on the App Store and Google Play. TED has also set up a community on social media where fans can follow updates and preview gameplay clips.

For puzzle fans, TED Tumblewords could become a new daily habit—one that sharpens the mind while sharing fun facts worth knowing.
