This game will be an elimination game for two-word phrases. Each word of the phrase will be treated as a separate Lingo elimination.
See the rules for LINGO Elimination for more details.

Have fun!

I didn't press refresh before my last change. I'd like to continue with the last guess, but, you may want to wait till tomorrow before you score it.
