    That’s interesting!

    I remembered after commenting that Lingo is being revived and they also have some 6 and 10 letter words as well. Maybe they got that idea of Motus!

      On the subject of game shows with adaptations that last a lot longer in other countries, Don’t Forget The Lyrics! still exists in France (“N’oubliez pas les paroles!”), is still quite popular and still airing every day on a major station. With occasional prime events, usually with champions or celebrities playing for charity.

      If what I saw on wikipedia is correct, the original US show only lasted from 2007 to 2011.

      Interestingly the formula of the French version has changed quite a bit from the original too.
