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, with each correctly guessed word earning number draws to attempt filling in a Bingo card.
Lingo features two teams of two contestants each who attempt to guess five-letter words and use colored balls to place markers on a 5×5 numbered Lingo card, attempting to cover five spaces in a row in a fashion similar to bingo.
Het woordspelletjesprogramma was sinds 5 januari 1989 doordeweeks dagelijks te zien bij twee omroepen van de Nederlandse Publieke Omroep, namelijk de VARA van 1989 t/m 2000 en de TROS van 2000 t/m 2014.

Three teams are pitted against each other in a battle to find words. With each round the stakes become higher and the prize money escalates. Tactics are paramount - if a team cannot find a word there are opportunities for their opponents to swoop in and claim the word and the money. Only one pair makes it to the End Game, where they can double their prize pot - however, if words fail them, they could lose everything and leave empty handed.

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.
