Each team attempts to solve as many words as they can in two minutes. In season one, words alternated between five-letter words worth 5 points each and six-letter words worth 10 points each; in season two, all words are five letters and score 1 point. The team who won more money in their match decides who goes first.
Each word is worth up to £500 but its value decreases by £50 for each attempt. Both the four-letter word and five-letter word games are followed by an eleven-letter puzzle word (twelve-letter puzzle word in Series 1) worth up to £1,000 but its value decreases by £180 per letter after the first one as more letters are revealed.
Four three-letter words are shown to the teams, each word is the starting point for a word chain. One team chooses a starting word, and the host reads a clue to another word (which may be a proper noun or abbreviation); the player must change one letter in the starting word to make the correct word (e.g., CAT to CUT).
The words in the chain are linguistically or logically connected, with both the word at the top and the word at the bottom revealed at the outset. By making inferences based on the revealed words and the revealed letters in incomplete words, contestants try to fill in the word chains to score points (dollars on Game Show Network).
The first word of each game was oriented horizontally and built on a letter placed in the center square of the board. Each subsequent word built on one of the letters in the previous word and was laid out perpendicular to it (i.e., the first word was played horizontally, the second vertically, and so on).
