To earn Golden Apples, you need to submit multiple required words correctly in a row, which will start a Word Streak. When you complete a level, you'll receive Golden Apples equal to your Word Streak.
A Streak will break if you do any of the following:
- Submit something that is not an accepted word
- You exit the level, minimize the app, or close it completely
- When you complete the level the Streak will end normally.
Not only can Apples be earned through making Streaks but also, they can be a reward for completing certain limited-time Events!
