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 673 hints (July 22)
The solution to the July 22 puzzle, Contexto 673, is related to the human body. Specifically, you’re chasing a word related to a body part that can cause pain or can be damaged. Not much to go off there, but it’ll all make sense by the end.
After failing to follow-up “pain” with anything related to feelings or emotions, I went after injuries and body parts. That’s where the green eventually flowed. “Knee,” “elbow,” “muscle”—you name it, it appeared in the top 100, but we’re after a specific part of the body related to ligaments and muscles. Good luck!
Contexto 673 answer (July 22)
Today’s solution to Contexto 673 is TENDON. You can get close if you guess “ligament,” “achilles,” “flexor,” “tendonitis,” or “tendinitis.” Once you get into the human body subset of Contexto words, this one was probably pretty easy.
