CONTEXTO

Is anybody playing this?

How to play

Find the secret word. You have unlimited guesses.

The words were sorted by an artificial intelligence algorithm according to how similar they were to the secret word.

After submitting a word, you will see its position. The secret word is number 1.

The algorithm analyzed thousands of texts. It uses the context in which words are used to calculate the similarity between them.

It can be quite difficult. I got it in 27 guesses today, which is the best score I've had all week. It normally takes me around 35/40 guesses.

I played contexto.me #190 and got it in 30 guesses.

Gave it a go. Wasn't sure if I was really getting it. Gave up after 60+ tries. I think I get it now. Will try again tomo.

Did it and got it by luck in 36 but I can't see what makes one word closer than another. Not for me.

Nah, I'm not into it.

I still don't get it though. I don't see the similarities

That's some very lucky guessing :)

When you complete a game, click on the closest words button, it'll show you the closest 500 words, and maybe give you a better idea of how they are connected, for your subsequent games.

edit: Also, the red words, are great clues as to what it's not, and can be as helpful when you get a green as another green might be.
