75-ball bingo
75-ball is the standard game in the United States and Canada. Cards are 5x5 grids under the letters B-I-N-G-O, with a free center space. Because there are many patterns, it's easy to make every round different.
90-ball bingo
90-ball bingo is the most popular version in the UK, Ireland and Australia. Players use tickets with three rows and nine columns. Each row holds five numbers and four blanks, so a ticket has 15 numbers in all. The first column holds 1 to 9, the second 10 to 19, and so on up to 90.

Other formats
80-ball bingo uses a 4x4 grid and is common online. 30-ball speed bingo uses a 3x3 grid and plays very quickly. For word games at home or in class, any grid size works.
