What is a Custom Word Challenge?
It is a private Wordle puzzle you create. Pick any word, share the link, and your friend solves it in six tries with the same colour-clue rules as classic Wordle.

- The shareable link appears instantly — tap Copy Link or the share icon.
- Send the link to a friend on any chat app. They click and play.
Tips for a Great Challenge Word
- Pick a word your friend would almost guess but not quite — obscure, but solvable.
- Words with repeated letters (HELLO, BUFFER) are harder — great for stronger players.
- Slang, names, or 7-9 letter words add a fun twist for serious word nerds.
- For kids, pick a 4 or 5 letter common noun (APPLE, MILK, LION).
Custom Word Challenge FAQ
Is my secret word stored on a server?
No. The word is encoded directly into the URL token. Nothing is uploaded or saved on our servers, so the puzzle is truly peer-to-peer.
What word lengths are supported?
Any length from 4 to 11 letters. Choose the size, type the word, and the receiving game grid auto-resizes to match.
Does the custom word have to be a real word?
Not at all. Names, slang, abbreviations or any letter sequence works. Your friend uses colour feedback to triangulate the answer.
Can my friend send a challenge back?
Yes. After playing, they can use the Create your own challenge link under the banner to open a fresh creator and return the favour.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. The on-screen keyboard, share button, and play page are all mobile-first. Use the share icon to open your phone’s native share sheet.
