Before @letshaveaword Round 24 starts, a few updates 👇
🔴 NEW: Superguess
After 850 guesses, any player can purchase a Superguess with $WORD for an exclusive 25-guess, 10-minute window. All players receive a notification and can watch live: guessing from non-Superguessers is disabled while the Superguesser’s activity displays on spectators’ screens in real time.
Players are allowed one Superguess per round, and purchasing a Superguess grants the new Showstopper 🍿 Wordmark. Half the $WORD payment is burned, and half goes to funding staking rewards.
I’m so excited about this new mechanic. My hope is that it makes Let’s Have A Word! more fun and engaging for everyone; e.g., you can imagine someone live-streaming a Superguess... and the spectator mode adds a whole new layer to the game.
📦 Guess pack adjustments
Guess packs now come in 1-packs (3 guesses) and 3-packs (9 guesses) only; the 2-pack has been removed. 90.7% of all guess packs purchased in the first 23 rounds were 1- and 3-packs, so I’m just following player behavior here (A nice byproduct is that this also opens up space on the pack purchase modal for Superguess).
Likewise, pack pricing has been increased slightly from a base of 0.00030 to 0.00040 ETH in the interest of jackpot growth and game self-sustainability. I’ve attached an infographic for reference.
📘 Word list
I added CLAWD to the word list, because why not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The total canonical word count is now 4,439. As always: if there’s a 5-letter word you think should be included or removed, hmu.
