$CLANKTON is upgrading to $WORD... the native token for @letshaveaword Hold it for bonus guesses. Earn it from bonus words and streaks. Stake it for yield. And best of all: every trade funds bigger prize pools. 📋 WHAT’S HAPPENING We’re using @kompreni’s Upgrader tool to migrate CLANKTON holders to $WORD. It’s not a swap; it’s a coordinated upgrade where all deposited CLANKTON gets sold in a single transaction, and the ETH proceeds launch $WORD with you as day-one holders. Deposit window open now through February 6: upgrader.co/2 💭 WHY THIS UPGRADE? tbh CLANKTON was always going to get shoehorned into my projects. Of everything I’ve built so far, Let’s Have A Word! has the most traction and gives CLANKTON the most actual utility. But “most utility” isn't the same as “designed for this.” CLANKTON wasn’t built for LHAW... it was retrofitted. Rather than keep forcing a token into places it wasn’t designed for, I’m giving CLANKTON a graceful death and resurrection as $WORD: a token with real, native utility in the game. It’s not a rebrand. $WORD is what CLANKTON should have been from the start: a token where holding it matters, trading it funds the prizes, and the game and token grow together. 📊 THE SPLIT → 40% to depositors: CLANKTON holders who deposit get $WORD pro-rata → 40% to liquidity pool: enables trading on Uniswap V4 → 20% to game treasury: locked, then vests; funds jackpots + development 🤝 GUARANTEED MINIMUM FOR CURRENT BONUS HOLDERS If you hold 100M+ CLANKTON as of February 6 and deposit, you’re protected. Your pro-rata share might be less than the new $WORD bonus threshold depending on total deposits. If that happens, we’ll airdrop the difference to ensure you still qualify for bonus guesses. You believed in the game early... you won’t lose your bonus status in the upgrade. ⚙️ HOW $WORD WORKS Every trade generates fees that flow back to the game: - 50% → Game treasury (bigger jackpots) - 25% → Buyback & stake pool (rewards via in-game staking) - 15% → Player rewards (bonus words, streaks) - 10% → Top 10 / Referral pool (ETH + $WORD) The flywheel: More trading → bigger prizes → more players → more demand → more trading CLANKTON couldn’t do this. $WORD is built for it. 🤲 HOLDER BENEFITS Hold $WORD, get bonus guesses: - Below $250K market cap: +2 guesses/day - Above $250K market cap: +3 guesses/day Same structure as CLANKTON, but now your token holding directly funds the game you're playing. 🟣 HOW TO PARTICIPATE 1. Go to upgrader.co/2 2. Connect wallet with CLANKTON 3. Deposit (you can withdraw before Feb 6 if you change your mind) 4. Wait for window to close 5. Claim your $WORD Your share = (your deposit ÷ total deposits) × 400M $WORD 🤔 FAQ Q: What if I don’t deposit my CLANKTON? A: You keep CLANKTON, but it won't have game utility after the upgrade. $WORD becomes the token that grants bonus guesses. Q: Can I withdraw after depositing? A: Yes, until February 6. After that, it’s locked for the upgrade. Q: I have 100M+ CLANKTON and get bonus guesses now. Will I still get them after the upgrade? A: Yes. If you deposit and your pro-rata $WORD amount is below the new bonus threshold, we’ll airdrop the difference. Current bonus holders are protected. Q: What's the total $WORD supply? A: 1 billion tokens. Q: Is there a minimum deposit? A: No minimum to participate. However, very small deposits may result in small $WORD amounts. Q: What happens to the treasury allocation? A: The 20% is locked, then vests linearly. This funds ongoing jackpot growth and game development. Q: What about the current CLANKTON LP? A: The upgrade sells all deposited CLANKTON into the existing LP. That ETH launches $WORD. Q: What happens to CLANKTON after the upgrade? A: It'll still exist, but with no game utility. The LP will likely drain as remaining holders sell. It’s a graceful sunset, not a rug. 🗓️ TIMELINE ✅ Deposit window open NOW ⏳ Window closes: February 6 ⏳ Upgrade executes: Shortly after close ⏳ Claim $WORD: Available immediately after upgrade Deposit now: upgrader.co/2 Questions?

My guess "CLICK" is off the board in @letshaveaword. That's one fewer word standing between you and the 0.0377 ETH jackpot 👀 🎯

My guess "PIQUE" was wrong in @letshaveaword — that's one less possible word for everyone else. One person still wins the 0.0334 ETH jackpot 👀 🎯

this is a good question. and it's actually an intentional incentive design choice. the natural behavior in a game like this is that most pack purchases happen late, when the word pool has shrunk and confidence is high. if we didn’t counterbalance that, rounds would be slow and underfunded. so part of the prize pool (10%) is reserved to reward heavy early participation, even if those guesses don’t solve the word. that does two things: - it incentivizes players to buy packs and guess early - purchases help grow the prize pool from the very start of the round in other words, the top 10 early guessers are rewarded for risk and momentum. as the round progresses, incentives naturally shift and paid guesses will likely increase. that's why the *price* of paid guesses increases as well: - 0–749 total guesses (early round): 0.00030 ETH - 750–1249 guesses (late round): 0.00045 ETH - 1250+ guesses (late round, max): 0.00060 ETH if your odds of finding the word are higher (because fewer words are eligible), the cost of paid guesses is also higher. this design will hopefully keep the game active and prize pools healthy in every round.
