Watch an ad, get 10 coins: how rewarded ads work
You'll never be interrupted by an ad you didn't choose to watch. Here's how the opt-in rewarded system works, and the arithmetic behind it.

There are two kinds of ads in mobile games. The kind that fires between levels whether you like it or not, and the kind you deliberately tap because you want something in return. Lexora leans almost entirely on the second kind.
The deal in one line
Watch one rewarded video to the end, get 10 coins. There is no daily limit — you can do this as many times as you want. That's the whole mechanic.
| Ads watched | Coins earned | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 20 | One extra word puzzle — crossword, word search, jumble, any of the seven |
| 4 | 40 | One extra quiz, including live web-checked topics |
| 8 | 75+ | A hint, with change left over |
| 10 | 100 | A Streak Freeze to protect your run |
| Keep going | No limit | There is no daily cap — earn as much as you like |
Why 10 coins, and why capped
The reward is tuned so that ad revenue roughly covers what your generated puzzle costs us to produce. Two ads pay for a word puzzle; four pay for a web-searched quiz. That's not a coincidence, it's the whole design — it's what lets us offer unlimited-in-practice generation to players who never spend money.
And there is deliberately no ceiling on it. Early on we capped rewarded ads at ten a day; we removed that, because the cap punished exactly the players who were most engaged. If you want to watch six ads and generate three puzzles in one sitting, that should be your call, not ours.
If you find yourself watching a lot of them, Premium is probably the better experience — no ads at all, and a much higher daily allowance. But that's an option, not a nudge: the free path stays fully open.
Where you'll see the option
- When you've used your free daily generations and try to make another puzzle.
- On the hint screen, if you'd rather watch than spend a coin balance you're saving.
- In the rewards area, any time you just want to top up.
In each case it's a button you choose to press. There's no pre-roll before a puzzle loads and no interstitial after every round.
If you'd rather never see an ad
Premium removes rewarded ads and banners entirely, raises your daily generation limit, and upgrades the model that writes your puzzles. If you'd rather spend a little money than a lot of thirty-second videos, that's what it's for.
And if you don't want either — no ads, no purchase — the two free daily generations are still there, every day, permanently.
