Press the "Start Game" button and you are brought to a game-board page where players take turns to guess letters and eventually someone will solve the puzzle. If you need it a clue button provides the phrase category. Play continues through the number of games input at the start. Each game will auto-load until the final game. When the final game is played, the scores which have been tallied throughout the game, will determine the "series" winner and the announcer will identify the winner by name.
