Are you a Wordle fan? Even if you’re not, you might want to check out the custom Wordle site that allows you to make your own puzzles at https://mywordle.strivemath.com/

Just enter a word and it will make a custom Wordle for you and provide a puzzle that you can project or share as a link in Google Classroom. You can display it for your class as an opener or lunch activity and have kids solve it on your SMARTboard or Interactive projector- or if you don’t have one of those, they can call out their guesses, and you can enter them on your laptop.

Primary teachers could create short 3 or 4 letter Wordles when teaching about word families. If you teach older students, you could use more complex words or focus on words with certain prefixes or suffixes. You can give them clues to reinforce concepts you are teaching such as “It is plural word” or “it is a compound word”.

You could also use vocabulary words that you are studying or words from a spelling list. It would be a good fit for World Language folks.

Math Teachers: Don’t feel left out by the Wordle craze. This one, while it’s not customizable like the one I sent out earlier today, is definitely for you!
