The\u00a0<em>puzzelprogramma\u00a0<\/em>(puzzle show) ended in 2014, and many were sad to see it go. But it is back, and tonight the new season had its first episode at 20:00 (8 pm) on SBS 6. You can find the episode <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs6.nl\/tv-gids\/sbs6\/vandaag\">here<\/a>, though it may not be available in your location. If you are able to receive SBS 6, it airs every weekday at 20:00 Dutch time.<\/p>\n<p>Lucille Werner, who presented the show from 2005 to 2014, tweeted the following last year:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"nl\" dir=\"ltr\">Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wkoolmees?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@wkoolmees<\/a> wil het inburgeringsbeleid veranderen door meteen met taal te beginnen <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JinekLive?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jineklive<\/a> Idee: breng <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lingotv?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@lingotv<\/a> terug!

While for\u00a0<em>nieuwkomers<\/em>, the game may be a little too challenging, it can certainly help you recognize words and patterns in Dutch vocabulary. Plus it just is a fun experience! Anybody can sign up, and so you also get a glimpse at regular Dutch people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n<p>But what is the weeknight puzzle show, how does it work? The\u00a0<em>regels <\/em>(rules) are quite simple, actually. Jan Peter Pellemans, the voice in the studio who verifies whether words really exist and better known as JP, described the\u00a0<em>regels<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Het is een taalspelletje dat draait om vijf-, zes- en zevenletterwoorden.

You have to guess words as quick as possible with the letters you are given.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>When a letter is orange, it is in the right place. When a letter is in a yellow circle, it means the letter is in the word, but not in the correct position. Can you find the right word fast enough?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an episode to give you an idea of what that looks like:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wouter en Paul in L.I.N.G.O. november 2012\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9959YYGuEBM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Did you know all the words mentioned?
