If Binance's #WordOfTheDay leaves you guessing blindly, you’re not alone—and the good news is, there’s a strategy. Whether the word is four letters or eight, you can improve your odds by learning how to choose smarter starting words, test useful letter patterns, and avoid common traps like repeating letters too soon.
Here's how:
1. Start strong: test the waters with vowels and common letters
Your first word is like your first move in a game of chess. Make it count! Pick something that gets you info fast: a mix of vowels and popular consonants.
Good openers:
4 letters: COIN, NODE, FARM
5 letters: TOKEN, MINER, CHAIN
6 letters: WALLET, ORACLE
7 letters: ADDRESS, NETWORK
8 letters: CONTRACT, PROTOCOL
You're not just guessing—you’re collecting clues.
2. Got a yellow? Move it around
A yellow letter means "Yes, but not there!" So reshuffle! For example:
If "O" turns yellow in TOKEN, try:
PROOF, BLOCK, ORACLE, OUTPUT
3. Green means go—but don’t get cocky
A green tile says, “Right letter, right place.” Fab! But one green isn’t the jackpot. Keep testing around it:
Say the "A" in chain is green—build from there:
SMART, STAKE, SPACE, FRAME
4. When in doubt, throw new letters at the wall
Still not sure? Try a word that uses totally different letters to sniff out what’s missing. For example:
FUNGAL, SUPPLY, CREDIT, VERIFY
It’s like scanning the alphabet for letters you haven’t found yet.
5. Play with prefixes and suffixes
Once you’ve got part of a word, try variations. Common endings:
-ing: STAKING, MINING, EARNING
-ion: OPTION, ACTION, VISION
-ity: CLARITY, UTILITY, EQUITY
6. Be clever: check Binance’s suggestion for clues
This works better when you already have a general idea of the word you're looking for. Check the article linked under the squares for your answer, the word is usually in it.
