Contexto is a word association game that gives you a new word to guess every single day. With every attempt, the AI algorithm determines how close your guess is to the daily answer based on thematic and contextual similarity.
Sometimes, though, no matter how experienced you are, the word you’re looking for can be incredibly vague and hard to deduce. Luckily for you, this guide is full of hints to give you a helping hand, but make sure you give today’s Contexto a go if you haven’t already!
How To Play Contexto
Contexto is incredibly simple to play, but difficult to master. All you have to do is type words into the search bar, and the AI algorithm will tell you how close your word is to the answer.
You’ll know how close your guess is based on the colour of the bar and the number next to it.
- Red includes guesses with the number 1,501 and above, meaning you’re way off from the secret word.
- Orange includes guesses between 301 and 1,500, meaning you’re getting closer, but still some ways off.
- Green includes guesses between 1 and 300, meaning you’re on the right track.
Best Contexto Tips & Tricks
- Start off using broad terms, then narrow down once you’ve got under the 1,000 mark.
- Try using Nouns first, and dip into verbs or adjectives once you’ve discovered the context.
- Experiment with random words at times, especially as different forms of a root word can rank differently, such as work and worker.
- Guess away, as unlike other word games like Wordle, you aren’t limited to a strict number of attempts.
