Contexto 678 answer – July 27 hints

Contexto is always a tricky word game to solve, but these hints will make it easier for you to find the solution.

Contexto is one of the nerdiest word games out there. The game tasks you with finding the word of the day by showing how close other words you guess are to it. This is measured by analyzing thousands of texts to find similarities between words.

How to play Contexto

You play Contexto by typing a word into the text box—anything that comes to mind. When you submit your guess, it will appear under the text box with a number next to it and a bar that can be red, yellow, or green. The lower the number of the word you guessed is, the more it’s related to today’s Contexto solution. The higher it is, the worse your guess is.

That’s why if you make a good guess, shown by a low number and a green color bar, you should keep guessing similar words—for example, if “internet” is green, I would try “connection” or “computer.”

Conversely, if it’s a high number and red, try something totally different. Using the same example, if “internet” was red, I would try “dog” or “eyes.”

The solution to the July 27 puzzle, Contexto 678, is related to outfits and costumes. I got to outfit through guessing body parts, with “head” and “face” coming up a little higher than the others…

Further clothing-based options continued to light up green, with “costume” then coming in at two. We’re looking for a costume or outfit-related word that, in some way, involves the head or face. You’ve got this from here, right—should be an easy win!

Contexto 678 answer (July 27)

Today’s solution to Contexto 678 is MASK. You can get close if you guess “costume,” “face,” “headgear,” “goggle,” or “glove.” “Halloween” is also up on the list, which probably would have made it very easy to get today’s word with my guesses plus that holiday in tow.
