About Contextually: Contexto AI game

Are you as smart as an AI? Put your vocab & language skills to the test! Contextually’s AI-driven guessing game challenges you to reveal a hidden word, using context: by guessing words most commonly used with it, getting closer & closer until you guess the hidden word itself.
Each guess is ranked by how close it is to the hidden word. The lower the number, the closer you are to reaching the hidden word - word #1.

Understanding context is how language AIs work. Computer models digest many thousands of articles, books, etc., with millions of words, to find which words are used most often together, and predict what words could come next. Contextually leverages the same insights, using text corpuses and modeling from Stanford University and Google.

Because ‘context’ covers a wide range of what & how people communicate, Contextually is a challenge to play. Successful guesses might be based on any or all of:
* Events/interests - e.g., impose and sanctions, or vampire and slayer
* Meanings/synonyms - promise and vow
* Semantics/connotations - club and clique
* Word association - horse and carriage
* Similarities - cupcake and muffin
* Categories - candy and snack
* Phrases and idioms - insult and injury

Contextually’s design, gameplay, and word selection all enhance its playability. Features include:
* Hints - each game gives you a starting point
* Unlimited game play, two ways - Classic gives you unlimited guesses; 6 for 6 starts with 6 hints, but you have only 6 tries to guess the hidden word
* Daily play - one game that's the same for everyone, every day
* Curated list of 1500+ words. Hidden words are nouns in the singular form, except for pairs (goggles, scissors) and stuff that's never singular (lyrics, nachos). The list is curated to provide a range of difficulty, and to limit non-relevant games. (For example, ‘cologne’ didn’t make the list; its closest context words are other place names in Germany.)
