Contexto Daily
One shared secret word each day. Meaning matters; spelling doesn't.
How the daily Contexto works
- Enter any English word to see its semantic rank.
- A smaller rank means your guess is used in contexts more like the secret word.
- Follow the warmest ideas until you reach rank #1.
Everyone plays the same word on the same day, so ranks are comparable between friends. Solving it extends your calendar streak, and a new puzzle arrives at midnight in your local timezone. Want more than one round a day? Head to Contexto Unlimited for endless puzzles with the same ranking system.
Frequently asked questions
What does a rank mean?
Rank #1 is the answer. Rank #20 is closer than rank #2,000; the absolute similarity score is intentionally hidden so the ordering stays easy to read.
Do hints count as guesses?
No. A hint makes a large jump while you are far away, then takes progressively smaller steps inside the top 1,000 so the final stretch still requires deduction. Hints are labeled separately in your list.
Is the daily word the same for everyone?
Yes. The daily puzzle and its semantic ranking are fixed for the whole day, so a rank of #37 means the same thing for every player.
