Two teams of three compete. In round 1, one team sees the start of a Yahoo search query, such as "What is the world's tallest _____", or "How many days until _____". The top five ways Yahoo users completed that question are then revealed. The first letter of each answer is given, with the length of the spaces indicating how long the word is; multi-word answers will have the first letter of each word listed. ([[Series/AmericaSays Sound a bit familiar?]]) Each result is worth a different amount of money; $100, $75, $50, $25, and $10. When an answer is picked, the next letter in the result is revealed. A correct guess wins the money and control passes to the next teammate, but an incorrect guess removes the player from the round. If all three guess wrong, control passes to the opposing team, who can pick one of the remaining answers to guess. Should a team clear the board, they win a $100 bonus (and get serenaded by the Yahoo yodel). The process is then repeated for the other team.

Round 3 is called Top Topics. Six categories are presented, each containing three results worth $75, $150, and $200.

The other team then plays the remaining three categories; whoever is in the lead after this round wins the game and keeps the money they've acquired.
