[GSM] Lingo

L I N G O

Part of the Gameshow Marathon


Format

Lingo is played in three rounds. In each round, players compete to guess a 5-letter word and score a Lingo. In Round 1, 3 words will be played, scoring $100 for each word. In Round 2, 4 words will be played, scoring $200 for each word. In Round 3, 3 words will be played, scoring $500 for each word. Scoring a Lingo will earn you the same amount a correct word will earn for that round.

The player who gets each word will draw two balls from a rack of 20. These balls include 16 numbered balls, 3 Stopper Balls, and 1 Prize Ball. Drawing a number ball will mark that number on your card and can potentially score a Lingo. Stopper Balls will immediately pass control to the other player. The Prize Ball is worth $700 and a year's subscription to the Mish Mash Network, worth approximately $0.32!

Attempting to use a misspelled or non-English word will pass control to the other player. If you are unable to guess the word within 5 guesses, you will lose control.

Let's get started! Before we can start guessing our words, let's give you both a board, shall we?

Image


Now remember, every time you get a word, you will draw two balls from your rack of 20 in an attempt to score a Lingo. We'll now draw our first player in control.

1=doctorwho
2=puzzledan

Well done! As a reminder, green indicates the right letter in the right place, while yellow indicates the right letter in the wrong place. Go again, doctorwho.

That's correct, congratulations!

No fancy graphic, sorry.


First ball:
11
! Let's put that on the board.

Second ball: Stopper, oh no! Luckily, you only have two of those left, but control now passes to puzzledan.

That's correct! We're tied up now at $100 each.

You draw a
22
and
23
! No Lingo yet, but two in the same row might help you later.

Image

And you keep control, so let's get the final $100 word going!

No need to panic, that's correct! Which means you're heading into Round 2 in the lead!

Image

Now, let's draw two more balls for your board.

That's a 57 and 44 for you, puzzledan. No Lingo, but you're one away in the second column, so that's good news!

Image

Now, at the start of every round we switch control to the other player, so doctorwho, you get first crack at this first $200 word. Good luck!
