+# Lingo Randomizer Setup
+
+## Required Software
+
+- [Lingo](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1814170/Lingo/)
+- [Lingo Archipelago Randomizer](https://code.fourisland.com/lingo-archipelago/about/CHANGELOG.md)
+
+## Optional Software
+
+- [Archipelago Text Client](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases)
+- [Lingo AP Tracker](https://code.fourisland.com/lingo-ap-tracker/about/CHANGELOG.md)
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Download the Lingo Archipelago Randomizer from the above link.
+2. Open up Lingo, go to settings, and click View Game Data. This should open up
+   a folder in Windows Explorer.
+3. Unzip the contents of the randomizer into the "maps" folder. You may need to
+   create the "maps" folder if you have not played a custom Lingo map before.
+4. Installation complete! You may have to click Return to go back to the main
+   menu and then click Settings again in order to get the randomizer to show up
+   in the level selection list.
+
+## Joining a Multiworld game
+
+1. Launch Lingo
+2. Click on Settings, and then Level. Choose Archipelago from the list.
+3. Start a new game. Leave the name field blank (anything you type in will be
+   ignored).
+4. Enter the Archipelago address, slot name, and password into the fields.
+5. Press Connect.
+6. Enjoy!
+
+To continue an earlier game, you can perform the exact same steps as above. You
+do not have to re-select Archipelago in the level selection screen if you were
+using Archipelago the last time you launched the game.
+
+In order to play the base game again, simply return to the level selection
+screen and choose Level 1 (or whatever else you want to play). The randomizer
+will not affect gameplay unless you launch it by starting a new game while it is
+selected in the level selection screen, so it is safe to play the game normally
+while the client is installed.
+
+**Note**: Running the randomizer modifies the game's memory. If you want to play
+the base game after playing the randomizer, you need to restart Lingo first.
