## What is Golden Word?

Drag letters in, rearrange before committing and flick away the ones you don't want.

No need to delete all your letters just to change the first one.

“Would that ‘R’ look better at the end?”

Just drag it.

Letters are judged as follow:

GOLD perfect
BLUE right letter, needs moving
GREY not needed

When you’re finished you can check your result history and keep track of your average score.

You can even clear your history and build a new one!

Then tap ‘New game’ and go again.

An enormous word bank means you should never get the same word twice.
