You play by marking your card as numbers are called. When a number that appears on your card is called, tap it to mark it off. The free center square is already marked for you.

Winning is a race to complete a line:

• Marking numbers means tapping the called numbers that appear on your card. Keeping up as the calls come is the whole task, so stay attentive as the pace increases.
• Calling bingo is done the moment you complete a full row, column, or diagonal. You must call it before your computer rivals complete their own lines to win the round.

The center square is free and counts toward any line through it, which helps you complete rows and diagonals faster.

Higher of the eight levels call numbers faster and give the computer rivals sharper cards, raising the pressure.

Tips

• Keep your eyes on the whole card. Numbers can be called in any order, so scanning your entire card for each call, rather than one section, means you won't miss a mark that completes a line.
• Mark quickly but accurately. As the calling speeds up, tapping promptly matters, but a missed number can cost you the round, so build a steady rhythm rather than a frantic one.
• Know which line you're closest to. Keeping track of the row, column, or diagonal you need only one or two more numbers for lets you call bingo instantly the moment it completes.
• Use the free center. The free square counts toward the middle row, middle column, and both diagonals, so lines running through the center need one fewer call, making them your fastest routes.
• Stay calm under the faster calls. The higher levels call quickly, which tempts panic, but a composed, steady focus lets you keep up far better than rushing and mismarking.
• Accept that it's mostly luck. Bingo is a game of chance, so losing a close round to a rival isn't a mistake on your part, and the next game gives you a fresh card and a fresh shot.
