Lingo Dash
An innovative word game where your mission is to build all the target words using the available letters. Put your wits, vocabulary, and quick thinking to the test in this fun letter puzzle.
How to Play
In Lingo Dash, you use the given letters to create valid words of a specific length. Each game has a set number of words to discover, and your goal is to find them all as quickly as possible.
The game screen is divided into three main sections:
- Letters: The letter pool you can use to form words.
- Word: The area where you place letters to build a word. Empty boxes indicate how many letters the word should have.
- Found: Shows the words you’ve already discovered. Fill all slots to win the challenge.
To form a word, tap or drag letters from the Letters section to the Word area. When it’s complete, press Submit to check it. If it’s valid, it will appear in the Found list.
