What is Bookmarklet Bingo?
Bookmarklet Bingo is a game that you can play on websites that you
visit. After adding a Bookmarklet Bingo link to your browser, you
can play the game on any website you are visiting, by clicking
the bookmark. A Bookmarklet Bingo card will appear on the
page you are viewing, and any of the bingo words found on the
page will be highlighted for you. Try this on marketing sites and blogs
or while viewing the transcripts of presidential debates.
