>>>I'll need four players for a game of Lingo. Here's
>>>how it works.
>>>
>>>You'll be divided into two pairs. Each pair will get
>>>a Lingo card. It has 25 numbers, a number of which
>>>are already marked off. The numbers that are marked
>>>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.

>>>Just post to play
