How WOTD Works and Rewards
Participants access the game via the Binance App under the 'Gifts and Campaigns' section. Each day offers a new puzzle with six attempts per word. Letter color feedback: green for correct position, yellow for correct letter in wrong position, black for letter not in the word. Extra attempts can be earned by sharing Binance-related news on social media — each click on the shared post grants one more try.
The total prize pool is 500,000 BNB, distributed to users with the highest cumulative points from correct guesses. Points can also be redeemed for token vouchers. The activity combines education with rewards, teaching crypto-specific terminology.
