Golden words are words with 6 or more letters found in Classic Mode. They earn a 3x score multiplier (30 points instead of 10) and trigger a special particle effect.
Classic Mode: 3-letter words = 1 pt, 4-letter = 3 pts, 5-letter = 6 pts, 6+ letter golden words = 10 pts × 3. In Endless Mode all words earn equal points.
