A correct answer to a question awarded money and revealed one letter in each word, and the player was given a chance to guess any one word. An incorrect buzz-in response gave the letters and guess to the opponent, but no money was awarded. Players earned additional money for solving words, with each word worth more than the one before it. In addition, the player who solved more words in a round won the merchandise offered at its start. If time ran short in a round, the questions stopped and one letter at a time was put in place until a player could buzz in and solve a word.
