If you’ve ever wanted to make your own Wordle puzzle to challenge (or annoy) your family and friends, The New York Times has announced an official tool that lets you do that.

If you have an All Access or Games subscription, you can make a 4-7 letter puzzle with the NYT’s Wordle creation tool. (You’ll be able to add an optional clue if you want to give the people you share your puzzle a bit of help.) When you’ve made the puzzle, you’ll get a unique URL you can share with others, and they don’t need to have a subscription to be able to play it.

The creation tool is available in the NYT Games mobile app and on mobile and desktop web. With the holidays coming up, I have a few ideas about themed puzzles I could make for my friends and family — but maybe I’ll mine some of the hardest Wordle words for ideas on how to make things difficult for them instead.
