    Not the best game show, but fun

    LINGO wasn't the BEST game show (Jeopardy, Password ... for us), but it was worth a watch.

    In LINGO, contestants get the first letter of a five letter word and make guesses about what the word could be. If any letters in the guess fall into the right place in the word the game has supplied, they light up, leaving spaces to make better guesses with.

    So an important strategy is to make guesses that, in particular, use all the vowels so that you WILL light up letters and have a better clue to the target word.

    Chuck Woolery has a lot of charisma and can be pretty funny, and so were the two women who acted as his assistants to supply the words.

    Fast word game that is both challenging and fun!

    Lingo is a pretty cool show. It's like that children's game, Mastermind, but instead of patterns of colors, you use five letter words. It's less of a trivia and more vocabulary. Lots of fun to watch and play at home! I would recommend it to anyone.

    A Fun Game show...

    I love watching "Lingo" on the Game Show Network.

    I've been watching "Lingo" on the Game Show Network since it started two years ago. I find "Lingo" to be fun, challenging, and a good show to play along with.(sometimes I play along on the computer).

    "Lingo" is a game show that consists of two teams(yellow and red) competing against each other to spell 5 letter words. Sometimes the words are really easy and other times very tricky. Which ever team scores more points the first two round goes on to Bonus Lingo to try to win up to $5000 and a vacation package.

    Overall everyone should give "Lingo" a try because it really is a fun game show. I give "Lingo" 10/10 stars.

    Fun game show

    First off, I must say that this is a fun game show. Also, I haven't seen every episode. However, I do know the show very well. Every time I've watched it, I've had a lot of fun playing along and watch. This makes me long to be a contestant. The thing I like most about it are guessing the words as letters are gradually given. When it goes off the air, I hope some network brings it back so I can play along and watch again. If that happens, I will be really happy. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever. Now, in conclusion, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

    Very exciting and very awesome!!!!!

    "Lingo" is another one of GSN's "originals!!!!!" It has longtime game show veteran Chuck Woolery hosting and a very beautiful co-hostess who not only runs the puzzles, but comes up with some very hilarious phrases to bring forth the puzzles (LOL)!!!!! Anyway, there are two teams of two regular people and they must solve a 5-letter puzzle in about five chances. Sometimes they can be really dumb and put in other words that they should know have the WRONG LETTERS IN!!!!! LOL AGAIN

    Once the puzzle is solved, one person must pull a number from a bowl but... there are stoppers that must be avoided!!!!! After 2 rounds, it's a chance to play for a big jackpot!!!!! It's like the regular rounds, except there's one team and more balls (but no stoppers!!!!!) - number balls, to be exact.

    "Lingo" is the modern game show with that retro flair!!!!! Watch it; if you can't, upgrade your cable or dish!!!!!
