Contexto
Contexto is a daily word game where you guess a secret word by submitting words and receiving AI similarity ranks that show how close each guess is; the puzzle resets once per day.
Play ContextoA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Contexto asks you to find a hidden target word by submitting guesses that are ranked by an AI according to semantic similarity. After each guess you see its position among all words: lower rank numbers mean closer meaning, and rank 1 is the secret word. The ranking is driven by an AI algorithm trained on large text data to measure contextual closeness.
You have unlimited guesses and earn points for each guess depending on its rank, plus a speed bonus when you eventually find the secret word. The site provides a daily puzzle that resets at midnight local time, an archive to play past games, and optional sign-in to save progress and appear on the leaderboard. Hints can reveal a word closer than your best guess until you reach rank 2.
Contexto also supports creating custom games by entering a secret word and sharing the generated link with friends. The interface lists closest words, shows your game statistics, and accumulates leaderboard points across games based on rank points and speed bonuses. The game emphasizes semantic reasoning rather than letter patterns, rewarding conceptual connections between words.
How to play Contexto
- Open Contexto and choose the daily puzzle or an archive game to play.
- Type a word guess and submit it to receive its rank among all words.
- Use the rank to judge how semantically close your guess is; rank 1 is the secret word.
- Repeat with as many guesses as needed; hints will reveal a closer word until your best guess reaches rank 2.
- Track points earned per guess and speed bonuses on the scoreboard and leaderboard.
Tips for Contexto
- Begin with broad, common words such as general nouns to establish an initial semantic context.
- Use synonyms and related concepts when a guess returns a low (good) rank to narrow toward the secret word.
- Pay attention to words that give consistently better ranks and explore related terms and usage contexts.
- Remember every guess can earn points based on its rank even if you do not immediately find the secret word.
Contexto FAQ
What exactly is Contexto and how is it different from other word games?
Contexto is a semantic word guessing game that uses an AI algorithm to rank guesses by meaning rather than letter matches. The AI analyzes how words are used in real text and assigns ranks showing which guesses are contextually closest to the secret word, so you think about relationships and usage instead of spelling or letter positions.
Is Contexto free to play?
The page indicates you can play Contexto without mandatory sign-in, implying free access to the core game. Creating an account is optional and recommended to save progress and appear on the leaderboard, but playing daily puzzles does not require signing in.
How many guesses can I make in Contexto?
You may make unlimited guesses in Contexto. There is no limit, so you can continue submitting words until you find the secret word or decide to stop.
When does the new puzzle come out?
A new secret word becomes available every day at midnight local time. The site states the daily puzzle resets at midnight so you can play a fresh game each day.
Can I play past puzzles in Contexto?
Yes, you can play older games by using the Play Archive feature. The Archive lets you choose the game for any previous day and replay past puzzles.
Is there a hint system in Contexto and how does it work?
Hints reveal a word that is closer to the secret word than your current best guess and can be used until your best guess reaches rank 2. You can request hints via the Hint button, and the page notes you may use unlimited hints subject to the rank-2 restriction.
How are the ranks and points calculated?
Ranks reflect AI-calculated semantic similarity between your guess and the secret word, with rank 1 being the target. Points per guess are awarded by rank tiers (for example rank 1 gives 10 points, ranks 2-10 give 5 points, lower tiers give fewer points) and a speed bonus is added when you find the secret word based on how many guesses it took.
Do I need to sign in to save my game?
Signing in is not required to play, but if you want your progress saved across devices you should create an account and log in. The site says logged-in games save guesses and points automatically so you can continue on another device.
