The program was based on the board game Scrabble and was hosted by Justin Willman.

Two teams consisting of a parent and a child compete for the grand prize of tickets for a trip to anywhere in the world.

Touching a correct letter causes the board to freeze; the child must then press a plunger to reset it and continue playing the same word.

All four players participate in this game, standing in line so that play alternates between members of opposing teams.

The first player in line presses a button to stop a randomizer and set the time limit for the round (between 10 and 30 seconds); the clock is displayed on screen for the home audience, but is not shown to the teams.

A correct answer passes control to the next player in line and brings up a new extra letter.

The child stands at a table with five tiles mounted on tracks, each displaying a different letter.

The parent calls out a three-letter word, and the child must move the letters to spell it out on the bottom row.

As in Scrabble Speedword, the team playing second waits in an isolation booth until their turn comes.

Sixteen letter tiles are displayed on the screen, each marked with its point value as in a regulation Scrabble game.

The first player to buzz in and solve the word scores its regulation value (doubled or tripled if any letter falls on a corresponding bonus square).
