A dad's five-year-old wanted to play Wordle with Grandpa, but the words were too hard. He asked Claude to build a children's version with only three-letter words and the same coloured-tile logic, and now the two of them play it together.
Make a simple browser game like Wordle for a [AGE]-year-old. Use only [NUMBER]-letter words that a young child would know, give [NUMBER] guesses, and use the same coloured tiles (green for the right letter in the right place, yellow for the right letter in the wrong place). Make the buttons big and friendly, and let us start a new word whenever we like. Show it to me so I can play it straight away.
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Ask Claude for the game with your child’s age and word length, and open the playable version it creates.
- Try a few rounds yourself and ask for changes, like easier words or bigger letters.
- Share it with the grandparents (or play together on one screen).

Spot patterns in your puppy training notes with NotebookLM
A TechRadar writer put feeding schedules, crate training routines, class notes, leash-training articles and behaviour notes about a new puppy into NotebookLM. Asked when leash pulling was worst, it spotted that difficult walks mostly happened late in the afternoon near busy pavements, and it also helped plan short, realistic practice sessions.
Using my notes in this notebook, when does [PROBLEM, E.G. LEASH PULLING / BARKING / ACCIDENTS] seem to happen most, and what do those times have in common? Then suggest a simple daily practice plan of [MINUTES] minutes that balances [E.G. RECALL, LEASH WORK AND PLAY], based on what the training notes and articles say.
Design a garden bed on a budget with ChatGPT
Quoted $12,500 to landscape her front bed, a columnist gave ChatGPT photos, measurements, her growing zone and a $2,000 budget. Its seven-page planting plan was checked by a local nursery, and she finished the garden for about $2,000.
Help me plan a garden bed. Size and shape: [MEASUREMENTS]. Sun: [FULL/PARTIAL/SHADE]. Climate or hardiness zone: [ZONE/REGION]. Challenges: [E.G. DEER, CLAY SOIL, DROUGHT]. Style: [E.G. COTTAGE GARDEN]. Budget: [BUDGET]. Suggest plants for the back, middle and front, with spacing, a simple grid layout, a shopping list with rough prices and the best time of year to plant.
Sort out your junk drawer with Gemini Live’s camera
A MakeUseOf writer hands the mental load of a hopeless junk drawer to Gemini Live: with the camera on, Gemini suggests emptying it and grouping things by category, then advises on how to use the trays and bags you already have, or which organisers are worth buying.
I'm going to show you my [JUNK DRAWER / CUPBOARD / SHELF] through the camera. Help me sort it out step by step: tell me what to take out first, how to group what you can see into categories, what I could probably throw away or donate, and how to arrange it using [ORGANISERS I ALREADY HAVE, E.G. TWO SMALL TRAYS AND SOME ZIP BAGS].
