Wordle made the coloured grid famous. You know the format: rows of green, yellow, and gray squares that tell a story of your deduction process without revealing the actual word. It's brilliant — a spoiler-free brag that sparks curiosity in everyone who sees it.
WordlyPlay adopted the same format and added a twist: you get paid gems for sharing.
How Sharing Works
After completing any game — whether you solve the word or fail — a "Share" button appears on the results screen. Tapping it generates a shareable card that includes:
- Your coloured grid (green/yellow/gray squares for each guess)
- Your number of guesses and solve time
- The game mode (Daily Challenge, Battle, Practice, etc.)
- A link back to WordlyPlay so viewers can try the game
The share card uses your device's native share sheet, so you can send it to any app — WhatsApp, iMessage, Twitter, Instagram Stories, Discord, email, whatever you use.
Gem Rewards for Sharing
| Share Type | Gem Reward |
|---|---|
| Share any solo result | +1 gem |
| Share a battle result | +2 gems |
| First share ever (one-time) | +5 gem bonus |
The gems are credited instantly when you tap share. Over a month of daily sharing, that's 30-60 bonus gems for something that takes 5 seconds per day.
Why Coloured Grids Work So Well
The genius of the grid format is that it's simultaneously a brag and a mystery. Your friends see that you solved the puzzle in 3 guesses but they can't see what the word was. That creates an itch — "I wonder if I could solve it too." That itch drives clicks to WordlyPlay, which drives signups, which drives the community growth that benefits everyone.
This is why we pay gems for sharing. Every shared grid is a tiny advertisement that works because it's authentic — you're genuinely proud of your result, and your friends are genuinely curious.
Where to Share for Maximum Impact
- Group chats (WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord): Highest conversion. Friends who see your grid in a group chat are most likely to click and try.
- Social media stories: Instagram and WhatsApp stories work well because they're ephemeral — people check them and the grid stands out visually.
- Twitter/X: The original Wordle sharing platform. Still works, especially if you have a gaming audience.
