Kontexto: find the word by its meaning

Type a word and get a rank: rank 1 is the solution, and the lower the rank, the closer you are in meaning. A daily puzzle in German, with Wördle, solo modes and real-time games with friends.

Daily
A new secret word every day.

01What it does

More than one puzzle

  • Ranked by meaning.

    Every guess is compared with the solution by meaning, not by spelling, and gets its rank among thousands of words.

  • Wördle.

    Five letters, six tries, with a German word list taken from the game's own vocabulary.

  • Solo modes with their own rules.

    A ladder that must get closer with every word, a round with limited tries, two secret words at once, and sudden death.

  • Play together.

    Duel and co-op for two, and arena rounds for up to eight players in real time.

  • Live mode for streamers.

    A round tied to a Twitch or TikTok LIVE chat, both at once if you like: every chat message with one word is a guess.

  • Five colour worlds.

    Light and dark modes and five colour themes, built as a design system of its own.
