This is a clone (in Scratch) of the TV Show Lingo hoisted by RuPaul. Lingo is a long-running word-based television game show where contestants compete to decode mystery words based on their first letter and subsequent clues. Originally created by Ralph Andrews in 1987, it has become a global format with successful iterations in the UK, the US, and the Netherlands.
- It is very similar to Wordle. A green letter means that the letter is correctly placed. A yellow letter means that the letter is incorrectly placed. A grey letter means that the word letter is not in the word.
- Each green letter can get 100 points to the player, a yellow letter can get 50 points to the player.
- If the player types a word that is not included in the dictionary, they will be deducted 50 points. An offensive word will be duducted 1000 points to the player. (* Note: I won't tell you what the offensive words are. I've censored 307 words targeting people with disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community, people of African descent and terms related to anatomy or associated with historical trauma.)
- If the player can solve the puzzle in 1 try, they will get 1000 points. 2 tries: 500 points, 3 tries: 300 points, 4 points: 100 points, 5 points: 50 points, 6: +25.
- If the word does not follow the first letter, they are likely to deduct 50 points due to the violation of its rules.
- A word cannot be guessed twice or more. They won't score.
- If you want to play this game, it is recommended to use Google, Microsoft Edge, Linux, Opera etc. devices to run because you need to download the font "DIN 2014". (https://font.gooova.com/fonts/15360/din-2014-font-family.html)
- After the player types the word, it will have some sounds. A high C is a green letter, a middle C is a yellow letter, a low C is a blue letter.
- For people who are blind, with low vision or dyslexia can change the colour theme with the list "colour codes" in the .sb3 file. Item 1 is the colour of the "not exist", item 2 is the colour of "correctly placed" while item 3 is the colour of "wrongly placed".
- For inclusive communication, it is recommended for parents to want their kids to stop using slurs. Slurs are never acceptable in the game.
[see the rules above] - For the answer list, some words are also removed because it is so associated with historical trauma or considered vulgar or offensive.
- You may customise the vocabulary to target the players by their English skills, e.g. for A1-A2 learners, the user can set the answers to simple words like "apple", "banana", "phone" or "blue".
- There are a lot of rewards to keep track to their progess and evalutate themselves and penalties to make the game more competitive like a race.
Guess a 5-letter word that starts with C.

Oh, sorry, I've been very busy recently so I don't have time to work on my fonts. I've been focusing on Wordle games.
