I used to watch all the time as a kid.

There's actually a UK version going on right now.

They tried to bring it back.

RuPaul hosting in 2023.

Uh,

This was basically Wordle before Wordle became a thing.

And it was very successful, very popular, at least for a niche game show.

So I think this could be successful with the Wordle brand because the Wordle brand is so strong.

And I just have to think that the New York Times buying Wordle from Josh Wardle for low seven figures a couple of years ago was the steal of the century because they are monetizing this thing up the wazoo.

What was... Yes, because lingo was compelling TV, so just copy lingo, put Wordle branding on it, and you'll be fine.

They would just have different teams go back and forth trying to solve...

It was mastermind combined with word games, but then what you would do is pick a ball out of a bucket that you couldn't see and then you had to, and this was sort of a lottery game where you had to get a row of five balls.

So that was like an added, it's hard to describe.

I don't know what's going on there.

It was like an added element after Wordle where it was kind of this luck factor where the more times you got the particular word, you got a ball to create this like winning winning streak of five.

So, yeah, they kind of took it a little sideways and there was a fun ending round as well.

So it wasn't necessarily the least amount of guesses.

It was.

Could you just get this out?

Yeah, you have some homework, which is watch Lingo to feel maybe smart.
