Custom Wordle

Make a custom Wordle with your secret word, hint and guesses, then share it with friends.

Play a sample puzzle, then set your own word

Guess the word in six tries, or type a secret word of your own and pass the screen to a friend.

Want a different word game? Turn the same words into trivia with the quiz game maker, or describe any idea to the AI game generator.

Make a custom Wordle for any occasion

A name, a place or a word only your group knows makes the puzzle personal. Each card has a prompt you can send as it is.

MOOSE

Birthdays and parties

Use a nickname or an inside joke as the word, and finish with a message when it is solved.

PARIS

Anniversaries and proposals

Hide a place, a date or a question in the puzzle. The win screen can show a photo you attach.

COMET

Classrooms

Turn spelling or vocabulary words into puzzles, with a short meaning after each one so the game teaches too.

LAUNCH

Teams and events

Run one puzzle for a launch, a meeting or a game night, with a leaderboard of who solved it in the fewest guesses.

Change the word length, guesses and hints

Keep the classic five letters and six guesses, or set your own rules in plain words.

  • Any word length

    Use a 3-letter word for young kids, a 6-letter word or a long name. The board and keyboard fit the word.

  • Number of guesses

    Keep six tries like the original, give three for a real challenge, or ten for beginners.

  • Hints and clues

    Show a clue from the start, or unlock it after a set number of wrong guesses.

  • Real words only, or any letters

    Check each guess against an English word list, or accept any letters so names and made-up words work.

  • Unlimited rounds

    Play a list of words back to back, with the next puzzle ready as soon as one is solved.

  • Colors and theme

    Pick your own colors and title, or turn on high-contrast tiles for colorblind players.

Each rule is a change to the game’s code, and Manus writes it for you. See how game development in Manus works.

How to make your own Wordle with Manus

Pick the word, play the preview, then share the link. Most puzzles take one message.

Make one in three steps

  1. 1

    Pick the word and the rules

    Type the secret word, a hint and the number of guesses, and say who will play. Leave anything out and Manus picks a sensible default.

  2. 2

    Play the preview and ask for changes

    Try the game yourself, then ask for changes in the same chat, like bigger tiles or a different win message.

  3. 3

    Publish and send the link

    Publish the game to get a link. Friends open it in any browser and play, with nothing to install.

Good to know

  • A word written plainly in the link gives the answer away. Ask Manus to scramble the word in the share link so nobody can read it from the address bar.
  • Names and slang are missing from most word lists. If you turn on real words only, ask Manus to add your answer to the list, or players can never type it in.
  • Building the game and each change you ask for use Manus credits, like any other task.
  • Want a fresh puzzle every Monday? Set it up as a scheduled task, and Manus makes a new custom Wordle from your word list each week.

Frequently asked questions

What is a custom Wordle?

A custom Wordle is a Wordle-style puzzle where you choose the secret word instead of playing the daily one. Players get a set number of guesses, and each guess shows green for a right letter in the right spot, yellow for a letter in another spot and gray for a letter not in the word.

How do I make a custom Wordle?

Tell Manus the secret word, an optional hint, the number of guesses and who will play. It builds a playable game, you try the preview and ask for changes in the same chat, then you publish it and share the link.

Is it free to make a custom Wordle?

You can try it on a free Manus account. Building the game and each change use credits, like any other task. Your friends play for free and do not need an account.

Can the word be longer or shorter than five letters?

Yes. Ask for any length, such as a 3-letter word for young kids or a 6-letter word for adults, and the board and keyboard fit the word.

Can my friends find the secret word?

Not at a glance. Ask Manus to scramble it in the share link, so the word can’t be read from the address bar.

Can I play custom Wordle with friends or 2 player?

Yes. Pass one screen back and forth, swap words with two links in a 1v1 game, or ask for a group mode where everyone plays the same word and a leaderboard ranks the results.

Can I make a custom Wordle in another language?

Yes. Write your word in Spanish, French, German or another language, and ask for the extra letters, such as Ñ or Ü, on the on-screen keyboard.

Can I make a daily Wordle for my class or team?

Yes. Give Manus a word list and ask for a new word every day, or a set of puzzles for the week. Add a leaderboard if you want to see everyone’s results.

Does a custom Wordle work on phones?

Yes. The game runs in the browser, so the same link works on phones, tablets and laptops, and players can type with the on-screen keyboard.

Pick a word and send the puzzle

Tell Manus the secret word and the rules, and get a game your friends can play from one link.
