Binance Launches Wordle-like Game on its Platform

Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, has announced the launch of the Binance ‘Word of the Day’, a mini word-guessing game for all registered users on the exchange. The game allows players to guess the word of the day in six guesses, with hints and clues provided as they play the game. The new game aims to drive traffic on the exchange, kill users’ boredom while on the platform, and enhance users’ vocabulary in crypto and Web 3. 

The ‘Word of the Day’ guessing game is available on the Binance mobile app and the website app. Simply, users need to log in to their accounts (or register a new account) to start playing the game. According to the team statement, new users on the platform can use the code WOTD2023 to get a 10% discount on spot trading fees. Once on the home page of the web app, click on the ‘Word of the Day’ icon and start guessing away! The game can be accessed in the Gift & Campaign section on the mobile app. 

The players have six tries to correctly guess the word or they’ve lost the game. 

The word of the day will be grouped into different weekly themes to make it more interesting. The theme can be used as a hint when making guesses. Past themes included CR7, Binance Gift Card, and the Metaverse. To win the game, users need to be conversant with the latest topics in discussion across the crypto field and follow Binance Blog, Academy, Announcements and social media channels, all of which could give hints on the secret word. 

As is with Wordle, the globally recognized word-guessing game, Binance’s Word of the Day opens with a blank slate. The player types in their guess of the first word and if correct they win the game for the day. If the player guesses wrong, they will be prompted to enter their second guess. Luckily, the game gives hints after every wrong word by changing the colour of the tiles. 

The green tiles on a wrong word show that the letter is in the Word of the Day and in the right position. A yellow tile indicates that the letter is in the Word of the Day but not in the correct position and black tiles show the letter is not in the Word of the Day.

While the game helps sharpen the players’ knowledge of crypto vocabulary, more is at stake – a chance to compete with your friends and family.  Binance Word of the Day tracks your every win allowing you to see who can keep their winning streak going the longest and show off your achievements using the share button.
