How to play (and learn faster)

LingoBingo turns vocabulary into a daily puzzle. You learn Spanish in real sentences, not isolated word lists.

1) Read the sentence

You’ll see a Spanish sentence with one missing word plus the full translation.

2) Guess the word

Type your guess. Color hints show which letters are correct (Wordle-style).

3) Repeat daily

Short sessions beat long cramming. Try 5 minutes a day.

How the puzzle teaches through context

  • Sentence first: the missing word is part of a complete idea, so you learn how it behaves with real grammar.
  • Translation as a guide: use it to narrow meaning, then let the Spanish sentence confirm the form.
  • Better than lists: repeated exposure in varied sentences helps you recall faster in the real world.

How color hints help you learn spelling

  • Green: right letter, right position.
  • Yellow: right letter, wrong position.
  • Gray: not in the word.
  • Why it works: you actively test hypotheses, which improves memory more than passive reading.

Benefits of daily play (5 minutes)

Build a habit

Daily consistency beats weekend cramming.

Stronger recall

Retrieval practice makes vocabulary stick.

More natural usage

Context trains grammar + meaning together.

Spelling confidence

Color feedback helps you correct patterns quickly.

Tip: after each puzzle, say the full sentence out loud once. It’s a small habit with a big payoff.

FAQ

Is LingoBingo free to play?

Yes. You can play for free on the web. If ads are enabled, they help fund the site. Your progress stays on your device.

What do the color hints mean?

They work like Wordle: correct letters in the correct position are highlighted, and correct letters in the wrong position are marked differently.

How does the puzzle use context?

Each answer lives inside a real sentence. The translation and surrounding words help you infer tense, gender, and meaning so you learn the word as it’s actually used.

What are the benefits of daily play?

Short daily sessions build habit and recall. Seeing words repeatedly in varied sentences improves recognition and makes spelling feel automatic over time.

Can I change the language or difficulty?
