Gameplay and Prize Structure
WOTD is a daily crypto vocabulary game available on the Binance mobile app. Players navigate to the "Gifts and Campaigns" section and select WOTD. Each word puzzle allows six attempts, with color-coded feedback: green for correct letter and position, yellow for correct letter but wrong position, and black for incorrect letter.
The prize pool consists of 500,000 BNB tokens, distributed among users with the highest cumulative points from correct guesses. Points can also be redeemed for token vouchers. Additionally, sharing Binance news on social media grants an extra try.
