About Contexto.games

Contexto.games is a small, independently run word game. One daily puzzle, an unlimited practice mode, and a playable archive — no account, no paywall, no interruption before you can play.

How the ranking is built

The game uses a fixed vocabulary of 38,437 common English words. Each word has a vector representation learned from how it is used across a large corpus of English text, taken from an openly licensed model. For each puzzle we compute the distance between the secret word and every other word, sort them, and store the resulting order.

That ordering is the ranking you see. It is computed once, ahead of time, which is why guesses come back instantly and why the answer never has to travel to your browser.

What the ranking is not

It is not a dictionary of synonyms and it is not a judgement about what words “should” be related. It reflects usage, so it occasionally produces surprising neighbours. That is part of the puzzle rather than a bug, though genuinely broken puzzles do get pulled — tell us if you find one.

Independence
