In the first segment, the classic letters round gets underway. Contestants eagerly anticipate the selection of nine random letters, painstakingly selecting vowels and consonants to create the longest and highest-scoring words possible. Speed and strategic thinking are key as they race against the clock to come up with the best combinations. With each successful word, points are awarded, adding to their overall scores and giving them an edge in securing a place in the next round.

As the mind-engaging letters round concludes, our host seamlessly transitions into the numbers round, where contestants must calculate a given target number using a combination of six random numbers and basic arithmetic operators. Each contestant employs unique mathematical strategies, employing their skill and mastery to reach the target with precision before the timer runs out. The numbers round offers a thrilling display of intellectual agility that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

After the exhilarating numbers round, the pace changes yet again for the ever-popular conundrum round. This rapid-fire challenge tests contestants' ability to swiftly spot anagrams within a nine-letter selection and buzz in before their opponents.
