Lexigotchi
Game
A tamagotchi for letters. Mint them, roll them from lowercase to UPPERCASE, spell words to claim as NFTs, then keep them fed. A sibling to Let’s Have A Word! in the same $WORD economy on Base; built and tested, not yet released.
What it does
- Letters are characters
- Fifty-two rubber-hose tiles, one per letter per case, each animated through its own states. Every mint is lowercase, and a letter’s pull rate is its share of the 22,190 letter slots in the dictionary, so Q, Z, X and J are the chase.
- A roll that can’t hurt you
- Raising a letter to UPPERCASE succeeds 45% of the time, climbing ten points per miss to a cap of 85%. A failed roll never burns or downgrades the letter; it only shortens the odds on the next one.
- One NFT per word, for its lifetime
- Claiming escrows five letters of matching case and mints the word itself, keyed by
keccak256(word). Two people can never both own CRANE.
How it works
- Mint lowercase letters: a free daily single per Farcaster FID, or packs of five at any time.
- Raise them to UPPERCASE with rolls, then claim any of the 4,438 dictionary words by escrowing five letters of uniform case.
- Stake a word to earn $WORD, and feed it or it goes hungry; a hungry word earns nothing and can’t win. Snacks are burned outright.
- Each day the game reveals a secret word from a hash-chain committed onchain in advance, so no one can steer a future answer. If that word is staked and fed, its owner takes the pot; otherwise it rolls over and grows.
- Phase 0 today: the app and the full Solidity suite are written and unit-tested against a faithful mock. Deploying and auditing them is the next milestone, so every price and balance in the app is still illustrative.
