ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lingo (American game show)

Lingo is a super fun game show where two teams try to guess secret words! There are five letters in each secret word, and the teams have to guess the word by giving clues to each other.

For example, if the secret word is "apple", one person on the team might say "fruit" and the other person might say "starts with A". Then, the team has to say "apple" to win points!

But, there's a catch. The other team is listening in and can steal the word if the first team doesn't guess it! Plus, there are bonus rounds where one team member has to guess as many words as possible in a short amount of time.

It's super exciting and anyone can play at home with friends and family!
