Contexto

[lifeisgoodrightnow]

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!!

Slow, but got there.

anyone else have starter words ? I’ve started using good old fashioned ’animal, vegetable mineral’

That’s a good idea. I’ve been using religion, politics, and then going completely random to city, red, dog. It got me to ‘priest’ in 3 moves the other day but otherwise I think my method is a bit limited!

Gave up and it was so obvious I’d dismissed it

I gave up too.

Although an obvious word I’m not sure it ent with all the water references - very odd

Kite surfing I suppose, but I agree it isn’t a strong link.

I think surfing and the target word are linked by use of wind. I gave up today, I got 2 or 3 in the top 10 but just couldn’t get it, I was thinking machines and birds.

I had 9 of the top 10 words and didn’t get it.

I was surprised to get this I didn’t think it was going to be the word, as I had only get up to number 61.
I played contexto.me #1063 and got it in 71 guesses.

Yes it drilled down quite quickly. I’ve not noticed obvious Americanisms yet either ( today included ) unlike wordle.

Not too bad today.

I dislike this one intensely. The logic doesn't always match with my logic at all. For example the word might be beef, but the word animal is guess 5000+

It makes no sense.

You guys also have more patience than me. 20 guesses is usually my limit before I stop.
