>I'll need four players for a game of Lingo. Here's

>You'll be divided into two pairs. Each pair will get

>are arranged so that no line of five in any direction
>has more than two marked.
>
>I'll toss a coin to determine which team goes first.
>When it's your turn, I'll give you the first letter in
>a five-letter word, like this:
>
>[font=Courier New]L _ _ _ _[/font]
>
>You'll have 24 hours to S-P-E-L-L your guess for the
>word. I'll then give you color-coded clues as to how
>close you are to the word. For example, if the word
>were "lingo", and you guessed "L-O-N-E-R", I'd give
>you this clue:
>
>[font=Courier New]
>[COLOR=red]L[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]O[/COLOR]
>[COLOR=red]N[/COLOR] E R
>L _ N _ _
>[/font]
>
>The red letters are in their correct places. The
>green letters are in the word, but not in that place.
>The black letters aren't in the word at all. If the
>word isn't gotten within five guesses, it goes over to
>the opp
>
>If you get the word, you earn a point and the right to
>pick up to two balls from your bowl. To start off,
>there are 20 balls. Most of them have numbers on your
>card. The others are blank, and they'll cause you to
>lose your turn if you draw one. If you get five
>numbers in a row, either across, up and down, or
>diagonally, that's a Lingo! You earn two points, and
>you get a new card and a new set of balls. (Wait a
>minute, that doesn't sound right...)
>
>PENALTIES: You will lose your turn and your opponents
>will get the next letter in the word if A) you run out
>of time guessing a word, B) you don't get the word
>within 5 guesses, or C) you guess a word that isn't
>legal (see below).

>LEGAL WORDS: Any five-letter word that's in the
>[i]Official Scrabble Player's Dictionary, 3rd
>Edition[/i] is OK to guess, but as a rule, the word
>you're trying to guess will never be a very rare word.
> If a team guesses an illegal word, it won't be
>judged, and they'll lose their turn.
>
>WINNING: The team with more points when time is
>called wins and goes on to the Bonus Round.
>
>BONUS ROUND: Your aim here is to guess enough words
>correctly to get a Lingo within 12 guesses. With each
>new word, you'll start with the first letter and
>another letter already given to you. Each word you
>guess correctly lets you draw a ball. If you succeed
>in getting a Lingo within 12 guesses, you win $V 5,000.
