Jumble Word(Leaving end letters)

Hi I am trying to get the words given by the user to jumble and it is not working for me. What am I missing?
Here's my code

#include <algorithm>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    srand(time(0));

	std::string userInput;
    std::string word = userInput;

	std::cout << "Enter a word to jumble \n";
	std::cin >> userInput;

    if(word.size() > 3)
    {
        std::random_shuffle(word.begin() + 1, word.end() - 1);
		std::cout << word << '\n';
    }
	
   
	system("pause");
	return 0;


Thank you
You may want to print out the values of both word and userInput after you retrieve userInput from your user.

I would also make the definition of std::string word = userInput come after cin >> userInput
@ rcast, that worked, thanks.
I'm having trouble not having it use the same number more than once;
