It seems like practically everyone has heard of Wordle, the viral word game sensation that\u2019s overtaken Twitter timelines and morning commutes. But avid players only get so much Wordle at once. The game allows players only one round of play each day. Some people \u2013 including Josh Wardle, the creator of the game \u2013 have attributed the game\u2019s success partly to its scarcity. But the lack of abundant games has also left many diehard fans wondering where they\u2019re meant to go to get their Wordle fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several options have popped up in recent months, including playing the Wordle Archives and checking out The Word Finder\u2019s 4-letter <\/a>and 6-letter Lingle games<\/a>, as well as our Wordle Solver<\/a>. But soon, fans can check out the new Lingo game show, too. The 1980s TV series, which appears to have helped inspire Wordle, is being rebooted by CBS<\/a>, with famous host RuPaul at the helm. But what will the show look like, and when can you expect to watch it? Read on to learn everything we know about the show so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is Lingo?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lingo is a game show that originally ran from 1987 to 1988<\/a>. The show has much in common with Wordle. In Lingo, players work in teams to guess five-letter words under a time limit. Players are given the first letter of the word to start their guesses. Subsequently, they will be told which letters they’ve guessed correctly. In this sense, the game is extremely similar to Wordle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The game show was rebooted several times: first in 2002, running until 2007. Later, in 2011, the show ran again for another brief turn. And now, in 2022, CBS has announced yet another reboot. But this time, the show will be airing for an audience that\u2019s newly rabid for word puzzling games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What will the rebooted show look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The most notable feature of the newest version of Lingo is its host. Known for his turns in shows like RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race, RuPaul will reportedly<\/a> be heading up the new show. Some aspects of the original version will be changed to make the show look a little bit more like Wordle. Teams of players will only consist of two people, for instance, but the players will still be given the first letter. \u201cWe give you a letter, and you guess the rest!\u201d will be the apparent slogan of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
