How to play
Every letter on the Bingo Card is a part of one or more common words. Your “Grand Bingo” objective is to find and select words which contain each of the letters on the card (a bingo “cover all”).
Your “Mini Bingo” objective is to select words that contain the letters which make a special shape (i.e. the shape of a “Z”). Always complete the Mini Bingo quickly and before the Grand Bingo!
Click the first letter in a word, hold the mouse button down, drag the mouse over the word’s last letter, and release the mouse button. Find and circle words as quickly as possible. Every letter on the card is a part of one or more common words. The game ends when every single letter on the card is used in a word which you have found. Good Luck!
Game objective
Every letter on the Bingo Card is a part of one or more common words. Your “Grand Bingo” objective is to find and select words which contain each of the letters (bingo “cover all”).
Your “Mini Bingo” objective is to select words that contain the letters which make a special shape (i.e. the shape of an “X”). You typically complete the Mini before the Grand Bingo.
Selecting words
Click the first letter in a word, hold the mouse button down, drag the mouse over the word’s last letter, and release the mouse button.
High score list
The Grand Bingo clock stops when every single letter on the card has been used in a word. Your “total time” is the sum of your Mini and Grand Bingo times. The lowest “total time” has the highest position on the list.
Hints
Click the HINT button as often as you wish. But every hint will add 10 seconds to your final time.
Fewest Words Bonus
Every Bingo Card has a red number in its lower right corner. Complete the Grand Bingo in this number of words or fewer and your “total time” will be lowered by 25%!
The Wild Position
The square in the center of the card is Wild. When it is included in a selected word, the game will check the dictionary for valid common words using all 26 alphabet letters.
The Game Dictionary
This game uses a subset of the standard international English S.O.W.P.O.D.S. dictionary. This dictionary is widely used in word game tournaments throughout the world.
Play tip
Concentrate on completing the Mini Bingo at first — to stop its clock as quickly as you can.
