Description

In the first two rounds, players take turns trying to make small words from a large word. Each player has about fifteen seconds, timed by a mechanical timer, to construct a word. When a player fails to construct a word within the time limit, the opponent may continue making words. A game ends with a scrambled word game. The one who solves the scrambled word based on the clues provided wins a prize card. The player who has the more valuable prizes after three games is the winner. The game is faithful adaptation of a television series.
