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.
