About Contexto

How Contexto works

Contexto is a daily word game where you guess the secret word and, instead of letter clues, you get a rank: how semantically close your guess is to the answer. A rank of 1 means you found it; a rank of 5,000 means your word is barely related. The game uses an AI language model to measure how often words appear in similar contexts, so synonyms and closely related ideas score best.

There are no letter or length hints — only meaning. That makes it a very different solve from Wordle: you are exploring a web of related concepts rather than narrowing down spelling.

Strategy tips

Start broad: try common, general words (time, people, water, money) to map the territory.
Follow the gradient: when a guess ranks well, try its synonyms and related words to climb closer.
Switch senses: if you stall, jump to a totally different topic — you may be stuck in the wrong neighborhood.
Think category, not spelling: the answer is about meaning, so verbs, abstract nouns, and concepts are all fair game.

When does Contexto reset?

A new Contexto puzzle is released every day at midnight in your local time zone, and each puzzle has a game number that increases by one per day. Miss a day? Past answers stay searchable — browse our Contexto archive to look any of them up.
