>>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
