Based on the short-lived (2007-08) game show, players compete to answer crossword puzzle clues to fill in the grid. Puzzles vary in difficulty. Players may play head-to-head, free-for-all, or duplicate the rules of the television series where only two players can score and the other players ("Spoilers") compete to take the place of the scoring players. Strangely, the board game calls itself "The Social Wordplay Game" and does not identify host Ty Treadway or the fact it is based on the game show.
