Lingo

The pairs of contestants – Laura with Kirsty, Iqra with Rhaina, and Lydia with Celeste – compete to uncover the words concealed within the Lingo grids and Puzzlewords. Each round challenges them to solve the hidden vocabulary. The programme is hosted by Adil Ray.

The programme is a game‑show style episode centred on word puzzles, presented in a lively, competitive format. It brings together a small group of participants who are split into three pairs, each pair working together to solve the challenges laid out on the screen. The show’s structure is built around quick‑thinking and teamwork, with the focus firmly on language and deduction. In this particular instalment, the contestants are Laura and Kirsty, Iqra and Rhaina, and Lydia and Celeste. Each duo is tasked with identifying words that appear within the Lingo grids and the accompanying Puzzlewords. The pairs must scan the grids, spot possible letter combinations and then confirm whether those combinations match the hidden words. Success depends on both recognising patterns and communicating efficiently with one’s partner, as the teams race against the clock to complete the puzzles. The episode is hosted by Adil Ray, who guides the participants through each round and provides commentary on their progress. Ray’s role is to keep the pace brisk, explain the rules when needed and announce the results as the teams work through the Lingo and Puzzleword sections. His presence ties the various segments together, ensuring the competition flows smoothly from one challenge to the next.
