Contexto hints & answers
Guess words, get ranked by how close their meaning is to the target, and close in from there. Today's hints, an evergreen guide to the format, and a running archive of past puzzle numbers. Nothing spoils until you tap it.
How Contexto works
Contexto hides one target word. Type any word you like, and it comes back ranked by how close its meaning is to the target, from 1 (the answer itself) up into the thousands. There's no letter grid and no guess limit, just meaning, so guessing a wildly different word can shake a rank loose just as easily as a careful, related one.
Because rank is about meaning, not spelling, categories and associations matter more than synonyms alone. Our daily page shares the closest words found so far as a gentle nudge before it ever shows the answer.
