Käyttöohjeet (Peliohjeet)

The objective of Lingo is to correctly guess mystery words (LINGOs) and longer Puzzlewords to earn money.

Peli ohiview:

• Players take turns attempting to solve LINGOs.
• Each LINGO starts with the first letter revealed.
• Players write their guesses for the LINGO on the wipe-clean game unit.
• Feedback is given using colored marker tiles:
  • Vihreä: Letter is correct and in the correct position.
  • Keltainen: Letter is part of the LINGO but in the wrong position.
  • Punainen: Letter is not in the LINGO at all.
• Correctly solving a LINGO earns money.
• Failing to solve a LINGO within the time limit allows opponents to steal.
• Longer Puzzlewords are attempted at the end of each round.

Gameplay Steps:

1. Start a Round: The first player is given a mystery LINGO with only the first letter revealed on the game unit.
2. Pelaajan vuoro:
   • The player writes their guess for the LINGO on the wipe-clean game unit.
   • Start the sand timer.
   • After the guess, the other players (or a designated host) provide feedback using the colored marker tiles.
   • Place a green tile over letters that are correct and in the right spot.
   • Place a yellow tile over letters that are in the word but in the wrong spot.
   • Place a red tile over letters that are not in the word.
3. Continue Guessing: The player continues to guess, using the feedback to refine their next attempt, until they either solve the LINGO or run out of time.
4. Solving a LINGO: If the player correctly guesses the LINGO, they bank the money associated with that word (as indicated on the scorepad or game rules).
5. Running Out of Time/Incorrect Guess: If the player runs out of time or makes an incorrect guess that cannot be corrected, the turn passes to the next player, who can attempt to steal the LINGO.
6. Stealing a LINGO: If an opponent steals the LINGO, they earn the money.
7. Puzzleword Round: After a set number of LINGOs (refer to the specific game rules for round structure), a Puzzleword round begins. These are longer words and offer higher rewards.
8. Pelin voitto: The player with the most money at the end of the game (after a predetermined number of rounds or Puzzlewords) wins.
