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 627 hints (June 6)
The solution to the June 6 puzzle, Contexto 627, relates to design. “Creation” was my first green word but I was still out in the 200’s; it wasn’t until “design” at 53 that today’s word narrowed into focus.
“Animal” was a wild 212 which misled me for a little, but after landing multiple top 10 picks with “painter,” “sculpture,” and “art,” I knew which direction I needed to head in. As long as you keep on the same track as those words above, you’re more than likely to get it in no time.
Contexto 627 answer (June 6)
Today’s solution to Contexto 627 is PAINTING. You can get close to this if you guess “art,” “paint,” “sculpture,” “artwork,” or “painter.” Compared to yesterday’s banger (context), today’s was a little easy once you entered the art world.
