Custom Wordle: make your own word puzzle

Pick a word, get a link, send it to anyone. They play your word in the browser with six guesses and the usual coloured clues. The word is never shown in the link.

Any real English word. It is hidden in the link, so your friend cannot read it.

How it works

  1. Type a secret word with 3 to 8 letters. It must be a real English word.
  2. Press Create to get your link.
  3. Send it. Your friend plays your word with six guesses and the usual coloured clues.
  4. When they finish, they can make a puzzle for you in return.

Ideas for your puzzle

  • A birthday name or a nickname that is also a real word.
  • A hint about a surprise: a place, a food or a gift.
  • This week's spelling words for a class or a child at home.
  • A tricky word with a double letter, to make friends think twice.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a custom Wordle?
Type any real English word with 3 to 8 letters and press Create. You get a link that you can send by WhatsApp, text, email or social media. Whoever opens it plays your word.
Can my friend see the word in the link?
No. The word is encoded in the link, so it is not readable at a glance. The preview card shows only the puzzle length.
Is it free, and does my friend need an account?
It is free, and nobody needs an account or an app. The puzzle opens in any phone or computer browser.
Can teachers use it for spelling words?
Yes. Make one link per spelling word and share them with the class, or solve them together on a classroom screen.
