The goal of TangoGo is to collect letters to form dictionary words. Points are being awarded for each letter based on the scoring system of traditional popular letter games. There is a time limit that can be extended by assembling more words. Some letters are highlighted and award additional points or lead to more letters being dropped. Letters drop from the top of the screen at an increasing speed, and additional letters can be created by touching the screen and dragging the finger across the playing field. Some words will add a points bonus. These words are announced as the game continues with a banner that will scroll across the screen. The top-ten high scores are being stored in the app on the phone, but they are not sent to any third-party servers. No data will ever be submitted to other servers on the Internet.
