Welcome to the latest version of Contexto – Word Guess!
In this update, we’ve added full Thai language support to the game’s UI, making it easier and more enjoyable for our Thai players to dive into the fun. Update now and experience smoother gameplay in your own language!
Contexto is an addictive word puzzle game that challenges your vocabulary and intelligence. Your goal is to find a secret word generated by AI. After each guess, the game tells you how semantically similar your word is to the target. Word #1 is the answer, while higher numbers are further away. With unlimited daily puzzles and a clean, minimalist design, it's the perfect game to sharpen your mind and improve your linguistic connections.

Our Expert Score
Contexto is a brilliant evolution of the daily word game genre. Unlike Wordle, which relies on letter placement, Contexto uses AI to rank words based on their semantic similarity to a secret word. It’s an incredible brain teaser that forces you to think about language in a completely different way. You might start with 'Apple' and find out it's word #5000, then try 'Politics' and see it's #200, which sends you down an entirely new train of thought.
The UI is beautifully minimalist, and the feedback system (Red for far, Yellow for close, Green for very close) is perfectly intuitive. The fact that it offers unlimited puzzles per day means you can really get lost in it. It’s more than just a game; it's a vocabulary expander and a fascinating look at how AI understands the relationships between words. Truly one of the most innovative word games on the App Store.

Tips & Walkthrough
Start with broad categories like 'Object,' 'Person,' or 'Action.' Once you get a word in the top 500, try synonyms or words that would appear in the same sentence as that guess to narrow it down.
Gameplays
Type any word to see its ranking. The color-coded feedback (Red, Yellow, Green) guides you toward the answer. Use the hint button if you get stuck to reveal words that are closer in meaning.

Q&A
The AI analyzes thousands of texts to see how often words appear in similar contexts. The closer the context, the lower the number.

Why in the world did you set the ad free like it is?
Wed Jan 01 2025 MaurokNCWhen I saw just a couple of dollars for a one time buy-in to remove ads, that was a no brainer. The way the game functions afterwards though needs to be reworked and updated. Not only does the game give you a level finished reward (say 100 credits) but it will pop up the option every time to watch an ad for double the credits. HOWEVER!!! If you paid to have mandatory ads removed, the game is rended incapable of loading ANY ads (requested or not) and thus makes it so that you cannot get that double the credit option whatsoever. It also affects the capability to check off any square of the free daily items. Something needs to be done to address this.
Cool in concept but could use improvements
Tue Feb 28 2023 68195938I like the idea of this game but it has a few aspects that could be improved to make it an overall better experience. One small one could be to show the relevant point value of a word you’ve already guessed when you type it in again. I appreciate the notification that I’ve already guessed that word, but if I’ve guessed 200+ words I’ve probably forgotten how relevant that individual word is, and could do with a reminder. A much more difficult to add improvement would be to consolidate synonyms. I’ve noticed there are a lot of words that mean the exact same thing, but have very different point values. “App” and “application” for instance, on one puzzle “application” was green and had a point value of less than 100, while “app” had a point value in the 4000’s. They mean the same thing. I know this gets tricky when it comes to homonyms, but I think that can be navigated by having separate entries for the different meanings of common homonyms, like “app (appetizer)” and “app (application)”. Going that route would allow players to clarify which meaning they intended whenever they type a homonym, so if they type “app” they could get a popup asking which of the different meanings they want to submit. Or, they could just immediately receive the point values for each of the meanings. Again, it would be a tedious improvement to implement, but it would be extremely useful and would help the game feel less arbitrary
Great challenge
Sun Apr 23 2023 GreyheliThis is the most interesting idea for a game in a long time. A groundbreaking use of AI. This is going to be the foundation for a completely new genre of games. I can see how people could nitpick the algorithm. For me, though, figuring out the details of the underlying model is the most fun part of gaming. One idea for anew feature would be a multiplayer option where you could create your own list of words that others can guess. (Implemented similar to a game like “Orbit” on the App Store.)
Cheap Semantle knockoff
Fri Sep 01 2023 djdkdkkddkThis would be a fun game if A) it wasn't completely plastered with third-party ads and pleas to buy their in-game currency, and B) it allowed you to TURN OFF THE HINTS IT GIVES YOU RIGHT OFF THE BAT. Every round it just hands you 4 words within 100 relevancy points on a silver platter, making it extremely easy to guess the word in less than 5 tries. I don't actually think it's a one-star game — it has a nice UI and minimalistic theme that happens to be completely covered over by desperate monetization. I also have no problem with people making games inspired by Semantle; it's a fantastic genre and I would love to see more of them. I have a problem with desperate cash-grab games that are designed to encourage a gambling habit and are worse in every respect than their source material. I just think everyone rating it highly hasn't heard of Semantle and so don't know what a downgrade this is.
crash NOT fixed… update
Thu Jan 19 2023 SkiRun03latest update says crash was fixed. Nope. Crashes constantly, after less than 1 minute of play. What a pain. Yes- I have the latest version of everything. UPDATE: The crashing is fixed. Kind of wish I had the problem back, because the “problem” was that the app crashed instead of playing ads. Now I get the frequent ad interruptions. Yippee. That aside, a few improvements in UI could be made, like swipe or speak to text. It would also be nice to see the number ranking of an already-guessed word. It is highlighted, but you have to hunt. Some rankings don’t make sense, like friend and friendship can be far apart. And some tenses or plurals are wrong or odd. Try entering “rent” and see what happens, as one example. I like the concept, but plenty of room for refinements.
A lot of ads. A LOT of ads.
Tue May 30 2023 Trent sky 1263It’s a fun game and although it’s repetitive, it does keep your brain thinkin. Still, there are ads every 2-3 minutes and even when you wait the 5-10 seconds to skip it, it takes you to the ad page, where you have to wait another 5 seconds to exit out of the mobile game trial, just for it to push a third ad with a 5-second skip timer that is advertising the same application or website. So every 2-3 minutes, there is an ad that’s 20-30 seconds even if you click the Xs as soon as they appear. This makes it annoying. Unless you are to disconnect from the internet and turn airplane mode on, this game’s main source of frustration is how many dumb Chicken Simulator advertisements that pop up.
Don’t bother.
Sat Oct 14 2023 GamerCTYThis game may look interesting, but it’s really a cheap, overstuffed, ugly, low quality bore. This game is neither fun nor entertaining. The menu is stuffed with flat buttons like Wordscapes with worse graphics and no nature. The AI works so bad, and will leave you scrambling for minutes trying to find a simple word that doesn’t even make sense. Every a second is another cluttered micro transaction trying to get in your face. The “art” is basically non-existent. This whole game is basically rectangles and words. Every graphic design choice reeks of being made in Unity after three second using the editor for the first name. Don’t download this game, staring at a brick wall for an hour straight would be a better use of your time.
Better without Ad’s
Mon Mar 20 2023 MiloBae28Ad’s are a part of life so I won’t complain about it, but for $2.99 to have them gone forever, super easy choice. Don’t mind putting that on my credit card for the month haha. Very happy with how stable the actual app is. Not glitchy, and not always giving pop ups for buying more IGC. Gifts every few levels is also very pleasant! All in all, 5 stars without ads! With ads, still probably at least 4.5.
