What is Contexto?
Contexto is a free daily word-guessing game where the challenge is meaning — not letters. Unlike spelling-based word games, every guess you make is ranked by how semantically close it is to the secret word. Rank 1 is the answer.
How it works
There is a secret word. Every word in the dictionary has been pre-ranked by its semantic similarity to that word using AI embeddings — a technique that captures how closely words relate in meaning, not just spelling.
When you guess a word, you are shown its rank. A rank of 1 means you guessed the exact secret word. A rank of 500 means your word is in the ballpark. A rank of 10,000 means you are far away. The trail of guesses sorts itself so your best clues always rise to the top.
There is no letter information, no colour patterns based on position. Just pure meaning. It feels completely different from other word games — and once it clicks, it’s hard to put down.
