Currencies

Coins, diamonds and keys, and how they turn into each other

Three currencies. You earn coins by playing, swap coins for diamonds, and swap diamonds 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 diamonds at the exchange.

Diamonds

Any word you play can randomly drop a diamond, and drops are twice as likely during a bonus. Crates give them too.

Diamonds do not buy anything. Swap them for keys at the exchange.

Keys

You buy keys in the market, swap diamonds for them at the exchange, or get them from crates.

Keys buy every cosmetic in the game.

Keys go elsewhere too. Making a clan and upgrading it cost keys, and so does entering a tournament.
