Reading Contexto's Ranks

Contexto scores every guess by meaning, not spelling. A rank in the low tens means you're almost on top of the answer, the low hundreds means you're warm, and the thousands means the idea is wrong. Green is close, orange is warmer, red is far — so on a puzzle like #1416 you steer by keeping whatever ranks lower and following that thread.

  • Start broad. A common word like “thing” or “water” shows which direction the answer lies.
  • Follow the ranks. Keep the words that score low and build outward from them.
  • Try word forms and opposites. Relatives and antonyms often reveal the axis you're on.
  • Use a hint before you stall. One nudge beats dozens of blind guesses.
