How the Contexto ranks work
Contexto hides one secret word. Every guess gets a number that shows how close its meaning is, and the secret word itself is number 1. The ranking comes from how often words are used in the same context, not from spelling, so a word that looks nothing like the answer can still be close.
There is no guess limit. The game also has its own hint button, which shows a word closer than your best guess so far.
- Open with broad words from very different areas: an animal, a place, a feeling, an object.
- Once a guess lands under a few hundred, stay near that idea and try related words.
- Our hint words below go from far to close, so open them one at a time.
