The television series is mirrored, with all players competing simultaneously. Players form the longest word from nine random letters and score points in the word game. The player closest to the target number using six random numbers and basic operations scores points in the number game. The final game, "Conundrum," challenges players to decipher a nine-letter word, and the first to solve it earns points. The player with the highest score at the end wins.
