Contexto is one of the nerdiest word games out there. The game tasks you with finding the word of the day by showing how close other words you guess are to it. This is measured by analyzing thousands of texts to find similarities between words.
How to play Contexto
You play Contexto by typing a word into the text box—anything that comes to mind. When you submit your guess, it will appear under the text box with a number next to it and a bar that can be red, yellow, or green. The lower the number of the word you guessed is, the more it’s related to today’s Contexto solution. The higher it is, the worse your guess is.
That’s why if you make a good guess, shown by a low number and a green color bar, you should keep guessing similar words—for example, if “internet” is green, I would try “connection” or “computer.”
Conversely, if it’s a high number and red, try something totally different. Using the same example, if “internet” was red, I would try “dog” or “eyes.”
Contexto 643 hints (June 22)
The solution to the June 22 puzzle, Contexto 643, relates to an emotion. “Hope” and “generous” were my first two breakthroughs after a whole lot of yellow—getting close to today’s word is surprisingly difficult!
I followed up with “gift” and “present” which led me to more material words but none were coming close, so I switched up to different emotions and voila, I was getting closer. “Joy,” “feeling,” “thankful,” and “compassion” all got me within striking distance—I simply needed to find another word to describe a feeling of thankfulness.
Contexto 643 answer (June 22)
Today’s solution to Contexto 643 is GRATITUDE. You can get close if you guess “thankfulness,” “generosity,” “kindness,” “appreciation,” or “compassion.” I managed to find “thankful” as well—I didn’t exactly think to add “-ness” to the end of it—but yeah, this was a tougher one than we normally see on Contexto!
