NYT Games Lets Subscribers Create and Share Custom 4–7 Letter Wordle Puzzles

Shareable links open the puzzles to non-subscribers, a growth-minded move for a unit reporting strong recent gains.

Overview

  • The Create Your Wordle Puzzle tool is live for All Access and Games subscribers on the NYT Games app, mobile web, and desktop.
  • Subscribers can build puzzles with 4–7 letter solutions, add an optional clue, and display a creator label.
  • Each custom puzzle generates a unique URL that can be shared widely, and anyone with the link can play without a subscription.
  • NYT Games enforces an acceptable use policy that blocks slurs, profanity, sexual content, violent descriptions, and other abusive material.
  • The launch featured curated puzzles from nine NYT staffers, and games chief Jonathan Knight said the team is focused on this Wordle creation feature as NYT reports 12.33 million digital subscribers.
