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!!

Nope nope nope too obscure got me today

I agree I had number 4 and should have got it from that. Never mind

Today seemed particularly odd - some days are much more intuitive

Spent too long on the wrong category, should have looked adjacent a bit more.

Have you seen the new game pips ? It’s quite good

I had a look at Pips but need a bit of time to work it out. I already have 3 games in the morning, not sure I have time for another! Happy with my Contexto score today, took a bit more thought with it rather than just ramming in suggestions as quickly as I think of them.

First time I have ever played. Well over 100 guesses and I have 2,3 and 4. I have asked my super intelligent DC to do it because I want tthe answer now.

So frustrating!!!!

It’s addictive and frustrating! There’s a hints button under the three dots which is your friend :-)

The hints were higher scores than I already had although I told them to DC1 and then they guessed it correctly. Phew!

I thought I’d done well but you both got it much quicker! I’ll have to refine my technique.

My ‘animal vegetable mineral’ technique worked on this particular occasion. It’s been hopeless on others .

Started off promisingly I got in the top 10 really fast. Gave into a hint at about 62 as have to get up for work! Think it would have taken quite a few other guesses otherwise I was slightly on the wrong track.
