Beschreibung
Resembles the licensed Scrabble clone Skip-a-cross. The board has the word "LINGO" written one letter per square in various places, and you score extra points for playing the letters of "LINGO" on their own squares. You can also earn extra points by playing words that fit a theme such as animal, mineral, vegetable, fruit, tree, bird, insect, or clothing. The first word played earns double the total word score. Letters played on red squares earn double letter score, yellow squares earn triple letter score, blue squares earn double the total word score, and purple squares earn triple the total word score. There are two wildcard tiles with a Joker image on them, and two blank tiles to be used to make replacements for missing letter tiles.

The same publisher also released a card game version of Lingo in the same year.
