There are five rounds in the game. In the first round you try to guess the word, with each guess showing the correct, incorrect and incorrect letters. If you guess the correct answer, it will take you to the next obstacle, and provide the answer to the last obstacle as your first guess. It may give you several clues or none depending on the words. For the final obstacle, every correct answer from the previous obstacles is shown, with the correct and incorrect letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted by previous guesses does not necessarily reflect the number of times that letter appears in the final constraint.
