À partir de votre réserve qui compte initialement six lettres, vous construisez huit mots d'au moins trois lettres, soit en constituant de nouveaux mots, soit en ajoutant des lettres aux mots déjà formés. À chaque mot validé, vous pouvez piocher une lettre ou bien, si vous avez assez de lettres en réserve, en échanger trois. Quand vous ne voyez plus de possibilité ni de former un nouveau mot ni d'en rallonger un existant, vous passez votre tour. L'ordinateur vérifie alors votre jeu et s'il trouve un coup que vous n'avez pas vu, c'est un « Carnaj » : vous vous faites jarnaquer le mot, qui est retiré du plateau. Six modes de jeu allant du mode loisir à 7 lettres jusqu'au mode compétiton à 9 lettres permettent à chacun de trouver un défi à sa hauteur.
