A correct answer scores points based on how many letters are in each one (just like on both The Cross-Wits and the 1980 NBC version of Chain Reaction). Then Leah gives a clue, and the contestant then answers. Unlike The Cross-Wits, the first-most letter is given regardless of any given letter got revealed (this applies throughout the show, even in the Head to Head Showdown and Fast Puzzle rounds). The contestant in control selects a position to solve. After which, the puzzle under the category gets revealed. In each round, the contestant starting the round selects a category. Three contestants compete in this game of pop culture and crosswords racing to see who knows more about pop culture and complete a series of crossword puzzles for three rounds of gameplay.
