Contexto is one of the nerdiest word games out there. The game tasks you with finding the word of the day by showing how close other words you guess are to it. This is measured by analyzing thousands of texts to find similarities between words.
How to play Contexto
You play Contexto by typing a word into the text box—anything that comes to mind. When you submit your guess, it will appear under the text box with a number next to it and a bar that can be red, yellow, or green. The lower the number of the word you guessed is, the more it’s related to today’s Contexto solution. The higher it is, the worse your guess is.
That’s why if you make a good guess, shown by a low number and a green color bar, you should keep guessing similar words—for example, if “internet” is green, I would try “connection” or “computer.”
Conversely, if it’s a high number and red, try something totally different. Using the same example, if “internet” was red, I would try “dog” or “eyes.”

The solution to the June 24 puzzle, Contexto 645, relates to people and discussion. It’s a little obscure of a hint but getting both early helped me begin to form an idea of what today’s Contexto answer is.
From here, I focused on other words that developed around such a discussion, which went my way very quickly: “right,” “wrong,” “decision,” “agree,” and “inform” all landed in the green at varying heights. Here’s a hint: It’s something a person forms based on the details given to them, and no, it’s not an “argument.”
Contexto 645 answer (June 24)
Today’s solution to Contexto 645 is OPINION. You can get close if you guess “contrary,” “disagree,” “regard,” “matter,” and “inform.” A lot of these words are very much based around the use of the word “opinion,” so I suppose it makes sense why they’d be so far up!
