Plot.

A high-stakes solve-the-puzzle competition, Lingo pits teams of two in multiple fast-paced rounds of guessing letters that in turn reveal seemingly simple words. The winning teams of these early rounds then go head-to-head in a nerve-wracking and unpredictable showdown. It all spells out TV's newest word-based competition sensation, in which anyone's H-U-N-C-H can mean someone's cash P-R-I-Z-E.

Wiki.

Lingo is an American television game show with multiple international adaptations. Contestants compete to decode five-letter words given the first letter, similarly to Jotto. In most versions of the show, successfully guessing a word also allows contestants to draw numbers to fill in a Bingo card.

Four Lingo series have aired in the United States. The first was aired in daily syndication from September 28, 1987, until March 25, 1988, and taped at the BCTV studios in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, British Columbia; initially hosted by Michael Reagan, series creator Ralph Andrews took over beginning in February 1988. On August 5, 2002, Game Show Network (GSN) premiered a revival of Lingo, which was hosted by Chuck Woolery and ran for six seasons through 2007. On June 6, 2011, GSN premiered a second revival hosted by comedian Bill Engvall, running for one season.

On February 11, 2022, CBS announced that it had ordered a primetime revival of Lingo, with RuPaul as host and executive producer, which premiered on January 11, 2023.
