—description from the publisher

The 26 letters of the English alphabet are separated in 5 categories based on the frequency they appear in the English vocabulary. On each of the 3 rounds of the game, only some letters from each category will be available for the players to use them. On their turn, they form words with the available letters and they indicate which letters they used by placing cubes on the Letter cards. By the end of the round, only the players with the majority of the cubes on each Letter card will score experience points.
Furthermore, through the game there are 4 different Achievement cards that can get fulfilled on every turn by using the available letters in certain ways. By the end of the 3rd round, all players will score more experience points depending on how many times they fulfilled these objectives.
Players not only they try to think of words using the available letters but they also want to earn the most points by taking good advantage of the more rare letters and the objectives on the Achievement cards.
