Lingo

Lingo is a television game show that aired on GSN from 2002 to 2007. Chuck Woolery was the host of the show. Lingo was divided into two sections; the main game and bonus Lingo. The main game featured two teams of two contestants. The goal of the main game was to score as many points as possible by guessing the mystery word. Each team began with a Lingo Card of 25 numbers, in which ten numbers were already marked off. The team that guessed the Lingo word first won 25 points and got to draw two balls from a hopper. Lingo was accomplished when they drew five numbers that are in a row on their Lingo card. The team with the highest number of points won the main game and went on to bonus Lingo. In Bonus Lingo, the two contestants had two minutes to guess as many mystery words as they could. For each correct word, they won $100. If the team formed a Lingo, they won a $4,000 prize package. Viewers of Lingo often found themselves playing along with the show. MORE
