Currencies
Coins and keys, and how coins turn into keys
Two currencies. You earn coins by playing and swap coins for keys. Keys are the only ones the shop takes.
Coins
You get coins for every word you play. Long words and big combos pay more, and you get a bonus for surviving a round.
You can swap them for keys at the exchange.
Keys
You buy keys in the market, swap coins for them at the exchange, or get them from crates.
Keys buy every cosmetic in the game.
| Bombs | rotating community picks and the season set |
|---|---|
| Ghosts | your elimination ghost and the word it carries |
| Prompts | the prompt box and its tiles |
| Hearts | your hearts |
| Combos | streak multiplier effects |
| Explosions | how you go out |
| Market | key packs, supporter packs and rings |
Keys go elsewhere too. Making a clan and upgrading it cost keys, and so does entering a tournament.
Side by side
| Currency | Where it comes from | What it buys | Turns into |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coins | Every correct word, survival bonuses, crates, duplicate skins | Nothing directly | Keys |
| Keys | Market packs, the exchange, crates | Cosmetics, awards, clans, tournaments | Nothing |
