  • Publication number: 20120302304
    Abstract: A word game played individually, and with competitions against one or more other players, or in mass-person competitions, primarily played on a computer, smart phone or digital tablet. The game features a set number of block-sized “game pieces” consisting of any modern country's alphanumeric character set that are displayed as one long horizontal string of game pieces at the start of the game in a certain scrambled tile order (“Starting Order”) and need to be “repositioned” into a specific tile order (“Final Order”) in a series of moves called Tile Directional Flips (“TDFs”). Each tile represents a letter, number, or character of a country's alphanumeric characters or an image, color, symbol or mathematical symbol used. A blank space may also be a tile used in the game.
