Fun word game

This game is fun as well as challenging to play. I think sometimes the 4 letter Lingo is too easy for me, and the 5 letter Lingo is too hard; I guess my difficulty level is between the two! I’ve unlocked the 6 letter Lingo but I haven’t played it yet. I like that you can get the letters to earn more points per letter as you play more I think (I probably didn’t explain that well enough, but you’ll see as you play; it’ll pop up after you’ve been playing for a while). If you like word games, this would be one I’d recommend to play.

Performance Issues

Well… if you played the old computer version from the GSN website years ago, you’ll be very disappointed and bored. You have A LOT of time to guess the word… one time I mistyped and because it “didn’t accept the word,” I lost and it gave me the word plus I lost my turn. That’s lame. Out of the 100+ times I’ve played, only three times have I not gotten the word, but I was very close. I chose to watch the ad to have an extra chance, and AFTER watching the ad, it wouldn’t let me take the extra turn! It just said sorry that I had not guessed it. What is that about? I’ve watched the ad to get the 10 minutes of unlimited tickets, only to also have to watch ads between words… I’m deleting the game. It’s way too slow for me, which makes it boring. The words are way too simple. I shouldn’t be guessing almost every word on the third try. Make a tougher version for people who actually have more than a second grade vocabulary, and it may actually be fun to play.

Does Lingo use employees to drive up the leagues?

I like Lingo and play it almost every day. Because of this I noticed that the weekly leagues are almost always led by someone whose performance is impossible without using free letters on the first line every time. For instance, just this week, one of the players has guessed correctly on the first line over 250 times. That means without making a guess and using deduction (like the game is intended for), they are buying free letters to figure out the word and have been doing this for 4 or 5 weeks straight. Just seems like this is someone who probably works for the company. Makes me feel like it’s not worth playing.

Excellent version of game show

Like most game show apps these days, you play a quick round for stars/treasure chests and the like. It’s a nice recreation of the game show, including the bingo element the current UK version doesn’t have. (This app is from the currently running UK version of “Lingo”). I do wish I could pay a small something to get rid of the ads, they get very annoying, very fast.

Timer too long

Part of what makes the show interesting is the fact that the contestants have to make quick decisions before the 10-second timer goes off. This app, however, gives you a VERY long time to pick each word. I wish the timer were adjustable or would get shorter/harder as you level up. I also agree with everyone else about the excessive ads. I like the game itself enough that I’d probably pay to remove the ads, if given the option.

Fun game, intrusive ads

This could be a great app - the game itself is fun and the features add incentive to keep playing. But every two rounds of play is an ad, and one that requires you to tap multiple times to move past it. Extremely intrusive and repetitive, and since each round doesn’t take very long to play, it feels like you are just constantly viewing ads. Not worth it for the amount of actual play time you get.

Fun, but could use some tweaks

I used to watch the game show back in the day and was pleased to see it is offered as a mobile game. I have a few suggestions for better gameplay: 1. Auto fill the first letter when typing an answer. It is cumbersome to have to type it in each time. 2. Allowed to change user profile. It’s very odd that a user is automatically assigned a random name without the ability to change it.

Pros & Cons

There are pros and cons to this app. I love the Lingo portion. I could do without the bingo portion and definitely do without the ads. TOO MANY ADS!!!! This game has ads that 1. Are about 30 seconds long AND there are ads after each play of lingo and bingo. Sometimes you get stuck with two ads in between each play. I understand why they have ads but after each play is excessive. I’d rather pay a small fee to get rid of the annoying overkill ads.
