How to Play Contexto
Contexto asks you to find one secret word by entering other words and studying how closely the game ranks them.
Unlike Wordle, you are not trying to identify specific letters. Contexto compares the meaning and context of each guess to the secret word instead. A lower ranking means you are getting closer, with the secret answer occupying the number-one position.
That means a close guess does not necessarily need to be a synonym. It could belong to the same profession, category, activity, or general idea.
Tips for Solving Contexto Faster
Start with broad words from very different categories instead of repeatedly guessing synonyms.
Once one guess receives a significantly better ranking, explore the ideas surrounding it. For example, if a profession ranks well, try related activities, objects, qualities, and concepts instead of guessing only other professions.
Most importantly, pay attention to clusters. Several moderately close words that share one concept can be more helpful than a single extremely close guess.
