Contexto
Contexto is a variation of the Wordle game in which players have to guess a word within an unlimited number of guesses and receive hints about the contextual similarity with the secret word. Each time you guess, artificial intelligence will analyze your guess through thousands of texts and show you the similarity and contextual relevance between your guess and the final word.
Unlike Wordle, it's not about spelling and finding correct letters. It's much about meanings and contextual similarity.

After you submit a word, you will see a number. That number demonstrates the similarity between your word and the secret word. The lower the number, the closer you get to the secret word. And similarly, the higher it is, the further away you are from the secret word.
Based on this number, you can try more times until you find the right Contexto of the day.
You have unlimited guesses to play.
There is one puzzle a day and it will reset at midnight. So come back daily and solve a new word.

After you successfully guess the secret word, you can share your results on Social media.
