I think they're referencing Lingo! the gameshow from the 80's.

    I'm referencing an even earlier version that was so old it was on mainframes 😜

    Somebody pointed out in another post that wordle is the same thing as a game show from the 80s,

    But they said this... I don't think Bulls and Cows was a game show.

    If we're just looking for the "earliest" game, then I think we're looking for Jotto... Which was 50's.
