Two teams, each with one celebrity (team captain), and a studio contestant, competed against each other. A category was stated and the first person would give a word pertaining to the category. The next person would have to give a word in that category that used the last letter of the last word stated as their first letter. The game rolled onwards until all persons were eliminated.
