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!!

You are very good at this game - I get very impatient!!!

I’ve had a good run the last few days, I skipped posting a few times before that when I didn’t get it even with hints. I’ll post even my failures from now on to show the true scope!

Gave up today, wasn’t getting it even with 3 hints and about 70 guesses.

ridiculous!

I played contexto.me #1067 but I gave up in 67 guesses and 6 hints.

Ugh I had so many greens, with about 3 in the top 10, gave in and asked for a hint and still didn’t get it.
I played contexto.me #1068 but I gave up in 94 guesses and 1 hints.

Blimey actually hot this one with no hints - took awhile though I played contexto.me #1068 and got it in 50 guesses.

Well done - feel like I should have got it but it’s just a bit outside my normal vocab so didn’t occur to me.

I played contexto.me #1068 and got it in 39 guesses and 5 hints.

Managed to get to number 10 without a hint. It would have taken me a lot more guesses to make any kind of link from 10 to the target word, though I can see it now I know the word.

I played contexto.me #1070 and got it in 69 guesses and 1 hints.

🟩🟩 14

My very first guess came in a number 4!!!! Still took some time though!I played contexto.me #1070 and got it in 31 guesses.

Managed to get there today.
I played contexto.me #1071 and got it in 57 guesses.

Got today’s word in 9 guesses, fun game

Cool

I played contexto.me #1071 and got it in 26 guesses and 4 hints.

🟩🟩 9
🟨 7
🟥🟥 14

You both did well!

I think I have to stop getting fixated on anything under 200 being relevant, and just keep random guessing to get higher (don’t like to do hints unless I’m short on time).

I played contexto.me #1072 and got it in 165 guesses.

I played contexto.me #1072 and got it in 93 guesses.

I got to 92 and gave in for a hint. I should have got it without the hint really, my number 4 should have given me enough info.
I played contexto.me #1073 and got it in 94 guesses and 1 hints.

First time playing, how infuriating is this! I had 6 words in top 10 and gave up. Don’t think I’d have ever gotten it.
