Contexto

Reading The Times yesterday about the marvellous lioness Leah Williamson who says she and other team members start the day with some puzzles - and mentioned this one. I couldn’t find a thread so thought I’d start one. Warning - it’s hard and tests your lateral thinking skills!!

Arghh! This game is so frustrating! And I think I'm getting steadily worse. 😂I was guessing in the green zone for ages but just couldn't nail it down (and still couldn't until the very obvious 3rd hint!)

I played contexto.me #1056 and got it in 35 guesses and 2 hints.

Well done I really struggled

@lifeisgoodrightnow Yes, I think that was the third hint.

Are the hints the same for everyone and the same whether you ask for a hint after 5 guesses or 55 guesses? Or are they generated by individualised algorithms?

I think they’re the same based on where you are when you ask for the hint. So if at 48 it halves it and gives you the answer at 24

"So if at 48 it halves it and gives you the answer at 24"

Sorry don't quite understand what you mean!

It has the word at guess #1 and the further away from the word it gives a number so you know you’re getting closer I think those words are fixed at those positions when it generates that day’s word. Sorry - my explanation is as complicated as this game :-)

Thanks!

Not relevant, of course-but go and find yourself a taco immediately. One of America’s finest contributions to civilisation…

Blimey !!!!
