Jumble.com is the new flagship site for "everything Jumble." The site also offers a Jumble shopping experience where fans can buy books, board games and other puzzle and game products. Later this spring, Jumble.com will feature a Jumble "Player's Forum" and a blog where Jumble creators David Hoyt, Mike Argirion and Jeff Knurek discuss classic and new Jumble games in print, online, and on mobile.

"Jumble.com offers Jumble fans a destination for all things Jumble," said Steve Tippie, VP Licensing at Tribune Media Services (TMS), which owns the brand and licenses Jumble products. "Jumble has been the most popular and most syndicated word puzzle in newspapers for more than fifty years and has a fanatical player base in print. In the last ten months, TMS and our game development and publishing partners uClick have created interactive and mobile versions of the popular newspaper puzzles-Daily Jumble, Jumble for Kids and Jumble Crosswords -- and five all-new Jumble-themed games, with more to come."

The Daily Jumble, Jumble for Kids and Jumble Crosswords interactive and mobile games feature the same daily clues and answers found in more than 600 newspapers in the United States and abroad. The new games are:

    --  Jumble Word Vault -- requires unscrambling words using the dials on a
        bank vault and offers nested vaults, each getting more difficult.
    --  Jumble Solitaire -- combines the phenomenally successful interactive
        solitaire game play with Jumble -- uses letters and scrambled words
        instead of card suits.
    --  Jumpin' Jumble -- the thinking person's game of checkers requires the
        player to build word chains by jumping board squares.
    --  Jumble Jong -- adds a Jumble twist to the popular game of Mah Jong.
    --  Word Web -- players build words on a spider's web while trying to fit
        in new letters that drop onto the web and beat the clock.

Adds Tippie, "Jumble's success has inspired us to create new game and puzzle lines under the 'From the People Who Bring You Jumble' tagline. We've got a top team of puzzle and game inventors and excellent technology and marketing partners to help us turbo charge the Jumble brand."

Jumble® : That Scrambled Word Game was launched in June 1954. The puzzle was created by Bob Lee (the word puzzles) and Henri Arnold (the cartoons). It quickly became the leading word puzzle in newspapers after the daily crossword puzzle and has kept its position at the top since. More than 60 million people in over 600 newspapers in the United States and Canada have access to Jumble every day. It is also in English-language newspapers in other parts of the world.
