two players competed. at the start, a computer image of the "scrabble" board was shown. a letter would be given in the center space. the host told the players the number of letters in the word, and then read a clue to the word. the player would take two numbered tiles. these tiles were placed in a slot, giving the player two letters. the player would then choose a letter to place in the word. if the letter was in the word, it was placed into the word. the player then made a guess to the word or placed the other tile. if the player could not guess the word after placing the tile, they took two more tiles. play continued until the player guessed the word (done by the player hitting their buzzer) or there was only one letter left in the word. if a correct guess was made, the player won the word. if an incorrect guess was made, play passed to the other player. three words won the game. two games were played with two different players.
