What is Unlimited mode?
Unlimited mode drops the one-puzzle-a-day format entirely. Every time you click “New word,” you get a fresh secret word picked at random, with the same meaning-based ranking as the daily puzzle — just with no wait between rounds.
It’s the mode most players use to actually get better at Contexto: since the daily puzzle only gives you one attempt per day, unlimited mode is where you build the pattern-recognition skills — reading rank gaps, narrowing semantic neighbourhoods, thinking in categories instead of spelling — that carry over when tomorrow’s daily word goes live.
Random word each round
No fixed schedule — every round is an independent, freshly picked secret word.
Play as many rounds as you want
No daily limit, no cooldown — click “New word” whenever you’re ready.
No account needed
Jump straight in — sessions are saved locally in your browser automatically.
Use it to warm up
Play a couple of unlimited rounds before tackling the daily puzzle — it’s a quick way to shake off the previous day’s habits and get back into thinking by meaning instead of spelling. See the full strategy guide on how to play.
Unlimited mode FAQ
- Does unlimited mode count toward my streak or the leaderboard?
- No — streaks and the leaderboard are based only on the daily puzzle, since that's the one everyone shares. Unlimited mode is untimed, unlimited practice with its own random word each round, so it's kept separate from head-to-head ranking.
- Can I get the same secret word twice?
- It's possible but uncommon — each round picks randomly from the full word pool, so repeats can happen the same way rolling dice can repeat, but you'll mostly see fresh words across sessions.
- Is my progress saved if I close the tab mid-round?
- Yes, your current unlimited round (guesses and hints used) is saved in your browser and will still be there if you come back to this page, until you click "New word" to start a fresh round.
- How is unlimited different from just replaying the daily puzzle?
- The daily puzzle is one shared word per day for everyone; unlimited gives you a private, random word on demand, with no connection to the leaderboard. It's built for practice reps — play five rounds back to back if you want.
- Is there a limit to how many rounds I can play?
- None. Click "New word" as many times as you like — there's no daily cap, no cooldown, and no account requirement to keep playing.
