How to play Contexto with friends

Contextus lets a group solve the same Contexto word puzzle together. You can start as a guest: one person creates a room and shares its six-letter code with everyone else.

Start a game

The host picks a Contexto puzzle. Friends join with the room code, then everyone can submit word guesses. The shared guess list updates as your team plays.

Use the ranks

Each guess gets a rank based on how close its meaning is to the hidden word. Rank 1 is the answer; smaller numbers mean you are getting warmer. Compare your closest guesses and try related ideas to narrow down the answer.

Solve it together

Anyone in the room can contribute guesses. If your team gets stuck, the host can get a hint; other players can request one. Once you solve a puzzle, the host can choose another and keep playing.
