How Contexto works
Contexto isn't about letters — it's about meaning. You type any word and the game's AI ranks how close it is *in meaning* to the hidden word. Rank 1 is the answer; the lower your number, the closer you are. You get unlimited guesses, and the ranking (and its color) tells you which direction to go.
| Mode | What's different |
|---|---|
| Rank 1 | The secret word — you've solved it. |
| Low rank / green | Very close in meaning; you're in the right neighborhood. |
| Middle rank / orange | Related theme but not specific enough — keep narrowing. |
| High rank / red | Far off in meaning; change direction entirely. |
Tips for solving Contexto
- Open with broad category words — *food*, *place*, *feeling*, *animal*, *object* — to learn which semantic neighborhood the answer lives in before you narrow down.
- Watch the rank number, not the spelling: a guess at rank 50 is far closer in meaning than one at rank 3,000, even if the far word looks similar.
- Once a guess lands in the top few hundred, stay in that lane — try synonyms, related objects, and more specific members of the same category.
- Use the letter-count clue to throw out candidates that are too long or too short once you know the theme.
- Open the definition only after the two meaning clues — it describes the word without naming it, so it's the gentlest last nudge before the answer.
