WLDLE Today
Solve daily wordles free to claim $DLY or play against others using $WLD—winner takes all!
Project Description
WLDLE Today is a consumer crypto application launching on World Chain that merges Wordle’s high-retention, time-tested gameplay with on-chain rewards. It offers two game modes:
Classic: Here, users must solve a daily Wordle puzzle and verify their WorldID to claim DLY tokens—tapping into the established habit of free token claims among World Chain's user base. After completing the puzzle, players can compare their performance against others who tackled the same Wordle that day. This feature adds a fun competitive aspect nudging users to try out the Duel mode, while providing a straightforward way to earn crypto.
Duel: Designed for more competitive players, Duel Mode lets participants wager WLD tokens in brackets of 1 WLD, 10 WLD, or 100 WLD. Each player solves the same Wordle, and the winner is determined by who solved it in fewer attempts. If attempts are tied, the tiebreakers are the number of green letters, then the number of yellow letters. If it’s still a draw, both players receive their wagers back, and no protocol fee is charged. Otherwise, the winner claims the entire pot minus a small protocol fee—transforming a simple word game into an exciting, real-stakes contest enabled by the sleek UX of Mini Apps on World Chain.
How it's Made
Under the hood, WLDLE Today uses React (with Vite + TypeScript) for its frontend, a Node.js server with Express for the backend, and Solidity smart contracts built and deployed via Foundry on World Chain.
To implement Classic Mode, we integrated WorldID for identity verification. This ensures each player can only claim their daily 100 DLY reward once.
For Duel Mode, we manage wagers through a straightforward escrow contract. Players deposit WLD tokens when they opt into a duel bracket (1 WLD, 10 WLD, or 100 WLD), and the tokens remain locked until a winner is determined. The Node.js backend tracks each player’s Wordle solution details—like the number of attempts, green blocks, and yellow blocks—and decides the winner once both participants have completed their puzzle. It then signs a signature given to the winner, so he can unlock his winnings from the escrow.
