This game has caused a number of Wordle variants to crop up on the internet, usually created by independent programmers similar to the game’s original creator Josh Wardle. These variants can appeal to different audiences and demographics, from school subjects like mathematics or geography to more specific topics such as a Pokemon-themed clone. It’s no surprise, then, that Wordle can also be used as a marriage proposal.

Posted on the r/wordle subreddit by user decccydecccs, the user showed off a site known as Custom Wordle, which allows players to input their own five-letter word. From there, the site will generate a link that players can share with anyone to solve. While this alternative allows fans to send others their own puzzles, without the same limits that the normal version of Wordle has. The word that they had chosen was “Marry” and they had sent the generated puzzle link to their girlfriend.
The user’s girlfriend showed that they were able to solve the custom Wordle puzzle in five attempts, with the last one being successful. According to decccydecccs, their girlfriend did end up saying yes, though some comments on the post indicated the more bizarre guesses such as “carns” and “barmy” that were used. Humorously, decccydecccs explained that “marry” was apparently “the furthest thing from her mind” at the time, and they were quite fortunate she said yes.
The rest of the comments on the post congratulated decccydecccs over their heartwarming puzzle and what it means for them. Much like its original counterpart, the site that was used for this proposal can be played for free and contains no form of advertisement. If fans are looking a simple way to make their own word puzzles to have others solve after completing a day’s Wordle, then they should consider trying the website. Maybe some other Wordle lovers can be inspired to propose in a similar fashion, but for now, this proposal is unique.
Wordle is now available for free, playable on the game’s official website.
