Three-Syllable-Lingo

A variant of the popular Lingo game concept

Game Description

Here is how the Three-Syllable-Singo game works:

  • The game starts and a random three-syllable word is chosen by the game engine
  • The word is show to the player:
    • The first character of the word will be visible
    • The total length of the word will be visible, where the characters other than the first one are shown as wildcards
    • The syllables will be distinguishable
  • The player can now guess the word by putting in characters on the word's available character locations
  • The player confirms his input
  • The game will verify the input:
    • Locations that contain a valid character are marked as "Valid"
    • Locations that do not contain a valid character:
      • If the character does not exist in the word, the location is marked as "Invalid"
      • If the character does exist in the word but on another location, the location is marked as "Misplaced"
    • The result of the verified input will define the following actions:
      • If the verified input only contains "Valid" locations, the player has guessed the word. The game restarts with a new random word.
      • If the verified input contains one or more "Invalid" or "Misplaced" locations, the player can guess again by providing new input.
  • The game ends when the player quits guessing and closes the game

To summarize, the differences with the default Lingo concept are:

  • Variable word length
  • Unlimited tries
  • Syllable distinguishing
