Well known vs Well-known
Hi, I am using this rule "If it is an adjective phrase preceding a noun, hyphenate it. If it does not precede the noun, do not hyphenate it. E.g., That is a well-known song. That song is well known."

https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/well-known-vs-well-known.1852285/

What rule are you using?

 * Well-known in this sense isn't synchronically an adjective phrase consisting of the adverb well modifying known; we can tell because it doesn't mean the same as known well. Well-known is, from a grammatical point of view, functioning here as a single adjective, which happens to be hyphenated (just as e.g. in-laws functions as a noun that happens to be spelled with a hyphen).
