What is Contexto?
Contexto is a daily word game about meaning. You have unlimited guesses, and after each one the game shows its position in a list of every word sorted by how similar it is to the secret word. The secret word is number 1, so a guess at position 15 is very close and one at position 3,000 is far away.
The list is sorted by an algorithm that analysed thousands of texts and learned which words are used in similar contexts. You can ask for a hint that reveals a word, give up to see the answer, or play previous games and a random mode. The game is available in more than one language, and it is part of Daydash with sister games Conexo, Letroso and Expresso.
