On each edition, three contestants competed against each other for the chance to play for a major prize.

The game is played on a board of 24 squares called the "Alphabank", which featured the first 23 letters of the alphabet, with the 24th square being the 'XYZ' square. The objective of the game was to create the longest continuous chain of letters without any breaks in the sequence.
