Each correctly guessed word awarded 25 points, while scoring a "Lingo" awarded 50 points, a new Lingo board, and a letter in the bonus round. Unlike the 1987 version, the 2002 version used a point system, and did not feature prize balls. Gameplay on the GSN version was largely similar to that of its 1987 counterpart, though with several changes. Doing so awarded $250 cash on the 1987 version, with the first team to complete a Lingo being declared the winner. Starting with the 2002 version, the red balls were known as "stoppers." The goal of the Lingo board is to achieve five covered spaces in a row in any direction, known as a "Lingo". Also present are red balls, which if drawn, immediately forfeit control to the opposing team. The 1987 version also featured "prize balls," which awarded trips or cash if drawn. Most of the balls contain numbers, which correspond to those on each team's respective Lingo board. If the opposing team still fails to guess, then the word is discarded and a new one generated.Īfter correctly guessing a word, a team draws balls from a hopper in front of them. Passing control to the opposing team also reveals another letter in the word, unless doing so would fill in the word completely. A team has five turns in which to guess the word.Ĭontrol passes to the opposing team if the team in control either fails to make a guess before five seconds expire makes an invalid guess (a misspelled word, a proper noun, a contraction, a hyphenate, or a word not five letters in length), or guesses incorrectly on the fifth turn. If the team did not come up with the right word on the first try, they were shown which letters were correctly placed as well as those in the word but not correctly placed. A letter that turns red is in the mystery word and in the right place, one that is yellow is in the mystery word but in the wrong place, and one that does not light up is not in the mystery word at all.
To assist in figuring out the word, each letter lights up. The team is then given the first letter of a five-letter mystery word and must make attempts at guessing the word by spelling it out.
The 1987 version started with seven spaces filled in, while all other versions start with ten. To start the game, each team receives a randomly generated "Lingo" card, similar in manner to a Bingo card, with some spaces already filled in. Two teams of two contestants, one of them usually a returning champion, compete.
