That's amazing. I was too embarrassed to post mine today :lol:

I gave up on today's after 50-some guesses including several top 20s. Note: I likely never would have gotten it.

But I went afterward and chose a random one from the past...holy cow! Massive luck involved as I got #1 off my previous guess at #157.

I played contexto.me #116 and got it in 5 guesses.

I've been trying these for a couple of weeks without much success (best was getting only 2 tips and about 50 guesses). But today, got it in 5 with no tips by sheer dumb luck. I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

I played contexto.me #130 and got it in 5 guesses.

That's what I'm finding. You hit on a good word early on and it goes quickly. If you don't...well, let's say you get your money's worth... :P


But sometimes I feel as though contexto and I are not speaking the same language.

Yesterday, when the word was apple, I saw that the 9th word down the "closest" list was motorola.
Juice and fruit were 14th and 16th. And pie was 50th! That's downright un-American! :lol:
