About

Lingo is based on the Dutch game show Lingo that ran in the Netherlands where players need to guess words of five or six letters. Players have a number of guesses and receive hints after a guess through the colors blue, red and yellow which indicate if a letter is correct and in the right position (blue), wrong (red) or correct but not in the right position (yellow). This is somewhat similar to the concept of Mastermind, but using words. It includes the No Lingo and the 7 words in 3 minutes bonus rounds and tie break options. It also has voice clips of presenter François Boulangé.
