What am I buying?
You are buying an exclusive claim on a single word inside WordFlex. That is a record in our marketplace, not a trademark, copyright, domain, or the right to stop anyone from using the word in real life.
What can I do with a word besides sell it?
Wear it, play it in Arena, write the daily line, play the tables, or sell it. One word is enough. You use that same spelling every turn.
What is Arena?
Arena is Larp, War, Daily, and the tables. Larp: pick 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 words. Coin flip, then one word at a time against a person. Majority wins. The tape reads Fair Value, last print, and bids, then the heavier hold takes the word. Ranked is one ticket every 12 hours. War uses a loadout of owned words with bids. Daily is a public word of the day until midnight UTC — screenshot it, share it — plus login XP and the line for members.
How much does a new word cost?
Unowned words cost $2.50 to claim. That $2.50 is a platform fee. After someone owns a word, later sales split 70% to the seller and 30% to WordFlex.
How do I pay?
Unowned claims and accepted bids check out with Stripe. If a seller accepts your bid, you have 15 minutes to pay. Listed words cannot be bought outright — you have to bid.
How do bids work?
List at any start. That start is the live price until someone bids higher, then the high bid is the live price. Bid as high as you want. Each high bid sits 5 minutes so others can raise, then the owner can take it. Nobody can skip the queue by paying the live price outright. Swap is separate: owners opt in, and those words sit on the Swap board, not the floor.
How do sellers get paid?
Set up bank payouts on Account → Payments. Stripe sends your 70% to your bank after a sale. WordFlex keeps 30%. First-time $2.50 claims go entirely to the platform.
Can I get a refund?
Claims and sales are digital records delivered immediately. We do not refund because you changed your mind or the word did not resell. If Stripe never captured the payment, you were not charged.
Does owning a word give me the copyright?
No. Ordinary words are not yours to copyright just because you claimed them here. WordFlex owns the website, branding, and software. You own the marketplace claim only.
Can I hide or report something?
Yes. Tap the flag bubble, name the person or the word, pick why, and write what happened. We may hide listings or accounts that break the rules.
