Netflix is about to launch a Wordle killer
Are you a fan of Wordle? We’ve got good news for you: Netflix is launching a similar game that you can play on your phone. Yes, that’s another potentially huge timesink in your life. Yes, we’re sorry.
The news comes via Netflix itself which revealed on its official blog that it teamed up with TED (yes, the non-profit TED organization) to create a game called TED Tumblewords.
The game, which is designed for players of all ages, will bring you three daily puzzles in which you’ll move and rotate letters in a 3×3 grid to create words.
As you get better at the game, you’ll climb Netflix’s Daily Ladder, allowing you to boast your word-combining prowess to your friends. You’ll also be able to play directly against friends in turn-based matches. And, since this is TED, the game will be heavy on topics related to science and health.
TED Tumblewords is launching on Nov. 19 on iOS and Android. It’s ad-free with “no in-app purchases or extra fees,” but only if you have a Netflix subscription. If you’re impatient, you can pre-register to get the game as soon as possible.
Not the day you’re after? Here’s the solution to yesterday’s Wordle.
