Not to be confused with the Lingo games which are played with pegs, cards or scrabble-like tiles. The 25 letter dice are placed at random into the spaces of the grid. The 12 scoring pegs are placed in the holes in the corners. Players then take turns to think of words beginning with the letters showing on the tops of the dice in the grid & each time a player names an acceptable word they remove the appropriate die from the grid & keep it (for scoring at the end of the game). The winner is the player with the highest number of points !
