Paste 16 words in four groups or name a theme, and Manus builds a playable puzzle with a share link. Make custom Connections for friends, classes and teams, with your own categories and red herrings.
This sample came from one message. Pick four words that share a link and press Submit. Three of the words are red herrings.
From one message: a pizza night puzzle, checked so each word fits only one group, then published as a game.
Prefer another format for the same words? Turn them into a trivia round with the quiz game maker, or describe a new game to the AI game generator.
Start from one of these and change the words. Each card puts a ready prompt in the box above.
Use trips, nicknames and running jokes, so only your group can solve it.

Put the couple’s story or family traditions into a puzzle guests open from a QR code at the table.
Stuck on categories? The game idea generator suggests themes and twists you can turn into four groups.
Ask Manus to publish your puzzles as a small site. Players open one link, solve on their phone and share their result as colored squares.
Manus builds the game, adds a page for each puzzle and publishes it to a link. Ask for changes in the same chat and publish again.
Want more than a word puzzle? Game Dev builds and publishes full browser games, and the website builder turns your puzzles into a site with its own pages.
Name a theme or paste your words, set the difficulty, then play it and share the link. Most puzzles take one message.
Give a topic, or paste 16 words already split into four groups of four with a name for each group.
Say how hard each color should be, how many red herrings to add and how many mistakes players get. Leave any out and Manus picks a sensible default.
Try the puzzle in the preview, ask for changes in the same chat, then publish it and send the link.
