Make Your Own Password Game: From a Word List to a Hosted Round
Build a real six-word practice game from a copied list, then preview the answer display privately. The steps distinguish Classic word entry from prepared-clue Host Mode.
Playable words and hosting plan
Build a six-word practice game
- Choose 6–10 familiar words. The sample here has six complete legal pairs. For a longer selection, use /examples, choose a category, shuffle and copy the secret words.
- Open /create and sign in. Name your game and choose Classic Password for player-given clues, or Host Mode for prepared clues.
- At Step 3, paste a newline-separated word list into the first Password field for Classic. For Host Mode, enter each prepared clue and its matching password in the corresponding fields.
- There is no automatic blog import. Review every card, word spelling and clue manually before saving.
- Preview privately; compare password visibility with the host key. Guessers should see a clue, not the secret answer.
- Open the host flow, prepare a shared player-facing screen, and check current plan/device limits before inviting players. Rotate the giver/guesser pair after each word.
Copy only what the mode needs
Classic players make up their own clues; the example hint is optional host preparation. Host Mode uses a prepared clue with its answer. A card containing the word is for a clue-giver, never for the shared guesser view.
6 words and optional legal clues
This is the private host planning table. Keep it off the guessers’ display; the answer-free player clue cards in the general picker are for prepared-clue play.
| Secret word | Primary / alternative clue | Difficulty | Meaning note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Lantern | Glow / Light | Easy | A portable light; not every lantern uses a flame. |
| 2. Compass | North / Direction | Easy | A tool for direction here, not a drawing compass. |
| 3. Wallet | Cash / Pocket | Easy | A small case for money or cards, rather than a purse or bag. |
| 4. Tunnel | Underground / Passage | Easy | An underground passage. |
| 5. Apron | Cooking / Cloth | Easy | A protective cooking garment. |
| 6. Meadow | Grass / Field | Easy | A grassy field. |
