See hints & answer → What is Contexto?
Contexto is a daily word game where you try to find a single hidden word. Instead of matching letters, every guess is ranked by how semantically close it is to the answer — rank 1 is the word itself, and higher numbers mean your guess is further away in meaning.
How to play
- Type any word and submit it.
- Read its rank — the lower the number, the closer in meaning you are.
- Use the ranks to steer your next guess toward related concepts.
- Keep going until you hit rank 1. Stuck? Grab a hint above.
