You are in a race against an opponent or the computer. You both have a runner at the top of the screen. The first runner to the finishing post wins.

To gain ground you have to guess the anagram from letters placed in random order in a 3 x 3 grid to choose a letter you move a cursor with a joystick to the required square and press fire. If your choice is wrong you have to select again but there is a time limit and you also lose if you have too many guesses.

A different way to get extra ground is by pressing fire when 2 out of 3 randomly generated letters match. If the other player presses first or you press at the wrong time you lose ground to your opponent.

At the end of the game the victorious runner jumps in celebration while the loser sinks to the ground.

This multi-skill level game demands sharp reactions and a good knowledge of words. A good idea but it soon gets boring.
