Contexto

🎯 What is Contexto?

Contexto is the daily semantic-word guessing game from contexto.me. Each day the puzzle picks a secret word and asks you to find it by typing other English words — the closer your guess is in meaning to the answer, the higher it ranks on the daily leaderboard.

The mechanic is unique among word games: instead of green/yellow/red feedback, Contexto shows your guess's rank based on a semantic-similarity model trained on word co-occurrences. Rank 1 is the answer; ranks in the 100s are semantically close; ranks in the 1,000s are very distant. The goal is to find the secret word with as few guesses as possible.

💡 How to Play Contexto

Open contexto.me to see today's empty input and the leaderboard.
Type a common English word into the input and submit. The site shows your word's rank — lower numbers mean closer to the secret word.
Read the rank and use it to triangulate. A rank in the hundreds means you're in the right semantic neighborhood; a rank in the thousands means your guess is far.
Try synonyms, related concepts, and broader or narrower terms. Climbing the leaderboard from rank 500 to rank 50 usually means thinking about what category the answer belongs to.
No guess limit — the only cost is your position on the daily leaderboard. Top finishers typically solve in under 50 guesses; average players usually take a few hundred.
Share your solve count and final guess when you're done. A new puzzle drops at midnight Brazil time and the archive keeps the past few weeks.
