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).

Create a Christmas morning photo of Santa in your own living room with Gemini
On Christmas Day a family asked Gemini's Nano Banana image model to create a picture of Santa delivering presents in their own living room. They were most impressed that it even set the photo's timestamp to 25 December at 6:39am.
Here's a photo of our living room. Edit it so Santa Claus is quietly placing presents under [THE TREE / BY THE FIREPLACE], as if caught on camera early on Christmas morning. Keep the room exactly as it is, with soft, slightly dim early-morning light, and make it look like a real, slightly grainy phone photo rather than a cartoon.
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].
Unblock a sink yourself with Gemini Live talking you through it
Instead of calling a plumber for a blocked sink, one man used Gemini Live, which explained what might be wrong and what he needed to buy. He double-checked the advice with another AI, fixed the sink in about 15 minutes and now understands how to do it again.
My [KITCHEN/BATHROOM] sink is blocked: [DESCRIBE, E.G. WATER DRAINS SLOWLY, GURGLES, SMELLS]. I'm a beginner. I'm going to show you the pipes under the sink. Explain what's probably causing it, what tools or supplies I need, and talk me through a safe fix one step at a time, waiting for me to finish each step. Tell me when I should stop and call a plumber instead.
