Why Create Your Own Wordle?
But before we get into the nitty gritty of making your own Wordle, let us ask why bother. Or maybe you are Zick of the same ol’ vocabulary and like to out a game that test your friend with your interesting words. Or maybe you want to experience the rush of designing a game that only your circle will get. Doing so is not only a fun project for its own sake, but also an opportunity to get creative with one of your favorite games.
Step 1: Choose Your Words
With words to start with of course. The body and blood of your Wordle experience, please choose responsibly From obscure jargon that only you and your friends understand, to inside jokes sure to have everyone giggling.
What Makes a Good Word?
A good Wordle word should be:
Five letters in length – It was that sweet spot of being long enough to make the game tough, yet short enough you could do it.
Fade…not too obscure, though If your friends are not lexicographers, you do now want to stump people with words such as “quizzify.”
Humorous or tailored: Perhaps you wish to express your personality a little more within the words, have an internal joke.
For example, if you and your friends constantly gush about how much love pizza together then you can use one of those words like CHEESY or DOUGHY. For lovers of conspiracy theories, how about “ALIEN” or “AREA51” (technically six characters)?
Step 2: Create the Game Board
With your words in place you need to create the board. From the pen and paper you will always use digital tools
Pen and Paper
1) Make a grid – A 6 x 5 column/rowxffffff A letter is represented by a cell in the grid.
Fill in the blank – Pick one word to act as an answer. Or your players can start creating their characters knowing that they have XYZ at the top of the character sheet.
Accept the tab – Let your pals, begin betting! They will fill in their answers below each row, and then it’s feedback time as you read the original.
