This post is for Lingo though, so read on to get all the information on Lingo season 2.

How to watch Lingo season 2

Lingo season 2 is done for the season.

All Lingo episodes are available on Paramount Plus, which will require a subscription to watch.

Lingo season 2 host

RuPaul is back as host for Lingo season 2. RuPaul is a 13-time Emmy winner for the reality competition series RuPaul's Drag Race, but brings his energy and charisma to the game show format with Lingo.

Lingo format

If anyone is familiar with the popular New York Times online game Wordle, then Lingo should be pretty easy to pick up. The basics of the game is that two teams square off in fast-paced puzzle rounds, trying to guess letters that reveal seemingly simple words.

A tweak from Lingo season 1 is that the winner of each episode will hold over and play in the next episode. This format, particularly familiar for fans of Jeopardy!, will allow for contestants to go on winning streaks and earn even bigger cash prizes.
