It is a game for the people who love puzzles and word games. Jumbli, a familiar word game that is present in mobile phones and at social community networks such as Facebook is now downloadable for free.

But if you think that is all you can do, the app also interact with one of New York’s Jumbotron. The game is displayed several times per hour on Clear Channel’s Spectacolor screen in New York’s Times Square, located at 48th Street and Broadway.

When Jumbli is live in Times Square, all other connected screens indicate that the game is live and all plays made during that period are displayed in real-time on the Spectacolor Jumbotron, giving players one of the world’s most prominent screens for their plays.

Jumbli was one of the first Verified Facebook Applications, a screening program that highlights applications that prove their “commitment to providing a trustworthy user experience that is secure, respectful and transparent.”
