Players aren’t given any sort of hints about what the words might be, leaving some people to develop a specific strategy of what words they use for their first few guesses. In the game, players have six guesses to get a five-letter word. The game’s creator, Josh Wardle, first came up with the game during quarantine in 2020. The game, originally launched to the public in late 2021, skyrocketed to fame after catching popularity online. All that’s important is that you guess your opponent’s word before they guess yours.įinally, perhaps the most famous (recently) guess word game of this type is Wordle. Unlike Wordle or Lingo, there are no time limits or limits on the number of guesses a player can make. For instance, in the above situation, a player would only be told they had guessed two letters correctly (the H and the S) but not which ones. For instance, if one person’s secret word was ‘THOSE,’ an opponent might guess ‘SHARK.’ However, the trick is, instead of being told which letters are correct, they are only told how many are correct. Then they take turns guessing each other's words. In Jotto, two players each choose their own secret five-letter words. Likewise, Jotto has a lot in common with both Wordle and Lingle. The major differences are that players are given the first letter of the word before their first guess and that players are under a time crunch. As you can see, this game is very similar to Wordle. Though originally only a game show, the game has since been translated to the digital environment so anyone can play. Players have five chances to guess the correct word. It will also tell them which letters are in the word but in the wrong place. If they don’t guess the correct word, the computer will tell them which letters have been correctly placed. Players had five seconds to make a valid guess for the word. In Lingo, a five-letter word is randomly suggested by a computer, and contestants are given the first letter of the word. Lingo is based on an American game show of the same name. In fact, Wordle itself is very similar to predecessors Lingo and Jotto, two similarly-designed word games that were once big themselves (though perhaps not as big as Wordle.) You’ve probably guessed that this game is partially inspired by Wordle, but Wordle is far from the only game of its type. Our Lingle board refreshes with new words every day. If you don’t get the word correct – or even if you do! – you can try again tomorrow.Keep in mind that, in our 6-letter Lingle, you only have seven guesses to get the word. Keep guessing words until you get the correct answer.You shouldn’t include these letters in future guesses. If a letter is not in a word at all, it will turn grey.On future guesses, make sure to include the letter in the word, but in a different spot.

If a letter is in the word, but is in the wrong place, it’ll turn yellow.You will then know to include that letter in the same spot of the word for all future guesses. If a letter has been placed correctly in the word, it will turn green.In addition to 5-letter Lingles, we have 4- and 6-letter Lingles, meaning you have endless opportunities for fun. Welcome to The Word Finder’s Lingle game! For all the Wordle (or Jottle or Lingo) fanatics looking for more linguistic fun, this is the game for you.
