How to build a word game

A word, a set of guesses, and a hint when you are close. Build3 builds it, you play a round, then publish a link.

  • No subscription
  • Credits do not expire
  • A link when you publish

12:00What you get

A word and six tries

The board should be readable on a phone. The rule should fit in one sentence.

  • One word at a time

    Five letters is the familiar start. Say how many guesses before the answer is shown.

  • Hints that mean something

    Right letter in the right place, right letter in the wrong place, or a miss. Use color and a word, so it is not only color.

  • A keyboard

    On-screen letters for a phone, and the real keyboard on a computer. Both submit the same guess.

  • The answer

    Show it when the guesses run out, and offer another word.

  • A daily word, if you want one

    The same word for everyone that day needs a list you control. Saving who solved it needs the database unlock. The price is on the pricing page.

  • A link to send

    Publish to a build3.site address. People play in the browser.

12:00How it works

From a sentence to a link

You describe it, look at the preview, and publish when it is the one you want people to see.

  1. 01

    Pick the rule

    Word length, number of guesses, and what the colors mean.

  2. 02

    Solve one word

    If a hint is confusing, fix that before you add a big dictionary.

  3. 03

    Publish

    Share the link. Update the live game when you change the word list.

12:00Questions

Before you start

Can I use my own word list?

Yes. Put the words in the prompt, or ask to add them later in the same project.

How do I pay for the build?

You buy credits and spend them as you build. Nothing renews each month, and unused credits stay on the account. Pack sizes and what a prompt costs are on the pricing page. A small change costs less than starting over.

Can I use my own domain?

The build3.site link is included. Connecting a domain you already own is a separate unlock on that project. The price is on the pricing page. Build3 does not sell domains. You add the records at the registrar, and the free link keeps working too.

Describe the word game.

The word length, the number of guesses, and what a hint means.
