Playing Lingo Online is fun. Basically, Lingo is a game derived from an American Television Game show. The game is very similar to Bingo game, which most of us used to play in childhood. And for the same reason the name “Lingo” resembles closely to “Bingo”, with the only difference in first alphabet “L”, which stands for letters.
Original Lingo Game Play:
The game consisted of two teams with two members in each team. The Players need to guess a five letter word and place markers on the Lingo Board. Lingo board is square board with 25 squares, 5 rows and 5 columns. If one team fails to identify the correct word in 5 tries or takes longer than 5 seconds to answer then the control passes to the next team. The team that guesses the word correctly receives two lingo balls as a reward.
Benefits of Playing Lingo:
1. It improves your vocabulary.
2. It gives you the ability to think quickly.
3. It improves your strategic thinking.
Now, today in this post I am will enlist few sites on which you can play lingo online for free. So, here we go:
Lingo at GSN:
GSN allows you to play Lingo online, but the rules of the online version of the game are slightly different from the actual one. Here you will be given a five letter word, after you guess the word you have to type in the word and hit enter.

Agree with you Pulkit. And, I believe Lingo falls in the same category.
Free is always good! Also like the fact that it is a game that can be used to not only expand your vocabulary, but used as a teaching tool for children instead of the typical shoot em up kind of games readily available for them online. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Kevin.:)
