The show features multiple rounds, including Toss-Up puzzles, Prize Puzzles, and the final Bonus Round, which offers contestants a chance to win monetary prizes and gifts by solving a challenging puzzle.

In the Bonus Round, contestants select a category and receive a set of letters. They then choose additional consonants and a vowel, aiming to solve the puzzle within a limited time.

The answer to the Bonus Round puzzle in the latest October 6, 2025, episode was VISIONARY FILMMAKER in the Person category.
