The daily puzzle game market is experiencing a surge in activity, with new entrants Netflix, Apple, and LinkedIn challenging The New York Times' (NYT) dominance. Netflix is launching a daily word game, TED Tumblewords, on November 19th, while Apple has introduced daily sudoku puzzles to its News Plus subscribers. LinkedIn, meanwhile, has added three games to its app, including Pinpoint, Queens, and Crossclimb.

These new entrants are offering fresh twists and features to attract users. TED Tumblewords, for example, combines scrambled letters to form words, while Apple's sudoku puzzles come with three difficulty levels. LinkedIn's games, on the other hand, offer a range of metrics, including high scores, daily streaks, and leaderboards.

The NYT, however, is not standing still. It has been expanding its own offerings, including the launch of a new phrase-guessing game, Zorse, and the addition of a Connections archive for subscribers. The company has also been testing new features, such as a hall of fame for its Mini Crossword.

The battle for dominance in the daily puzzle game market is heating up, with each player vying for users' attention. As the market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these new entrants fare against the established players.
