WQNY may choose to announce a contest word more than one time per day, but there is no obligation to announce the word multiple times in any single contest play or in subsequent contest plays. Message and data rates may apply. One text per play. More than entry per day will invalidate all entries by that individual. No mechanically reproduced or automated entries permitted.
