Daily Contexto

One word a day, the same for everyone.

Daily

Guess the word. Each guess comes back with its place in a list of twenty thousand, sorted by closeness to the answer. No clock, no hints — your score is how few guesses it takes.

No guesses yet

Today

      Everyone gets the same word today. There is nothing to time and nothing to unlock — the only number that matters is how many guesses it takes, so a careful game beats a fast one.

      Stuck? Give up shows you the word. That spends the day: the guesses behind it are not a result, so there is nothing to put on the board afterwards.

      Ranks come from where words sit relative to one another across a very large pile of text, not from spelling or from a dictionary definition. Words that turn up in the same sort of sentence end up close together, which is why guitar lands near music without sharing a letter that counts. Rank 1 is the word. The high thousands mean you are in the wrong subject altogether, and that is useful too.

      Your guesses are kept in this browser as you make them, so a reload picks up where you left off rather than handing you a clean slate. Want as many words as you like instead? Free play Contexto deals a new one whenever you ask.
