Can you build the next Wordle?

Our theme is New York Times word games!

In this game jam/mini-hackathon, we're creating simple, clever games in the style of NYT.

Examples:

How will this game jam be run?

Submissions will be open from December 1 through December 7, voting will continue from December 8 through December 14.

From December 1 through December 7, there will be open "game jam" sessions available to join - check your email when we get started! These are optional, but they'll be fun.
