Wringo Ver 1.0

©1996 Sawbones Software, Inc.

Wringo is a challenging word guessing game that combines elements of Hangman, Mastermind, and Bingo.  Players guess 5,6 or 7 letter words and are given clues about the letters in the word. The number of guesses it takes to correctly identify the secret word determines the number of Wringo Balls drawn from the hopper.  Fill your Wringo Grid first and you win!

Using
Playing Wringo

Players begin by typing a word (or any series of letters) in the 'Enter Guess' box. Once the guess is typed in, click the 'Check Your Guess' button. The program compares your guess with the secret word and displays results in the Word Grid. If a letter in your guess matches a letter in the secret word exactly (same position) it is colored green. If a letter in your guess matches a letter in the secret word but is not in the proper position it is colored yellow.

Play continues until the secret word is guessed (up to a maximum of 5 guesses per word). If you fail to guess the secret word in 5 guesses, it is revealed to you and no Wringo Balls are awarded.

If you correctly guess the secret word, you are awarded Wringo Balls. The number of balls drawn is determined by the number of guesses required:

1 guess (Wow!)	10 balls

2 guesses	9 balls

3 guesses	7 balls

4 guesses	5 balls

5 guesses	3 balls

The balls selected are displayed in the 'Numbers Drawn' grid. The numbers are then compared to the players Wringo Grid, and matching numbers are highlighted. The object of the game is to highlight the proper squares in the fewest number of words.
