Krunk Rules

Coming Soon

Krunk will be available in a future release. The rules below are based on current known game mechanics and are subject to change.

Objective​

Krunk is a word guessing game where players try to guess each other's chosen words. Each player picks a word from the dictionary, and their opponent attempts to guess it using Wordle-style clues. The faster you guess correctly, the more you win.

Setup​

  • Both players pick a word for their opponent to guess
  • Words must be from the dictionary
  • Each player has up to 5 guesses to find their opponent's word

Gameplay​

Word Selection​

  1. Each player secretly picks a word from the provided dictionary
  2. The word must be a valid dictionary word
  3. Both players select their words simultaneously

Guessing Phase​

  1. Make Your Guess: Enter a five-letter word as your guess
  2. Receive Clue: After each guess, you receive a Wordle-style clue showing:
    • 🟩 Green: Letter is correct and in the right position
    • 🟧 Orange/Yellow: Letter is correct but in the wrong position
    • ⬛ Gray/Black: Letter is not in the word
  3. Continue Guessing: Use the clues to make your next guess
  4. Maximum Guesses: You have up to 5 guesses to find the word

Example Clue​

⬛⬛⬛⬛🟧RATES
🟧⬛🟧⬛⬛SPOIL
⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩MOUSY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩BOSSY

In this example:

  • First guess "RATES" had one letter (S) in the word but wrong position
  • Second guess "SPOIL" had two letters (S and L) in wrong positions
  • Third guess "MOUSY" had three letters correct (O, U, Y) with two in right positions
  • Fourth guess "BOSSY" was correct

Scoring and Rewards​

The amount you win depends on how many guesses it takes you to find the word:

  • 1st or 2nd guess: 100% of the amount posted
  • 3rd guess: 20% of the amount posted
  • 4th guess: 5% of the amount posted
  • 5th guess: 1% of the amount posted
  • 6th guess or more: Nothing (0%)

The amount shown at the start is what you'll receive if you guess correctly on the first or second try.

Game Flow​

  1. Pick Word: Choose a word for your opponent to guess (must be from the provided dictionary)
  2. Make Guesses: Make up to 5 guesses of your opponent's word:
    • Wait for opponent to pick their word
    • First guess
    • Second guess (or go to finish)
    • Third guess (or go to finish)
    • Fourth guess (or go to finish)
    • Fifth guess (or go to finish)
  3. Finish: Shows results of your guessing. Wait for opponent to finish guessing
  4. Results Shown: Results displayed with options to start a new hand or end the session
  5. Next Hand: Wait for opponent to start next hand (may be skipped if opponent has already started)
  6. End Session: Session may end due to:
    • Playing on-chain
    • Insufficient balance (yours or opponent's)
    • You or opponent declined to continue
