Contexto 697 answer – Aug. 15 hints

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, indicated 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.”

Contexto 697 hints (Aug. 15)

The answer for the Contexto puzzle for Aug. 15, Contexto 697, has something to do with computers and technology. Similar to Contexto 694 (which was “screen”) I immediately ripped into as many device-related terms as possible and continually found success.

From “tech” to “tablet” and “news,” “device,” and “phone,” I inched closer to today’s Contexto answer with various tech objects, but it was my “gizmo” guess at six that gave away the game. Today’s word has a touch of mad science combined with technology and development—if you’re still struggling, it also starts with a “G”! That’s all you’re getting, good luck!

Contexto 697 answer (Aug. 15)

Today’s solution to Contexto 697 is GADGET. You get close if you guess “gizmos,” “geek,” “phone,” “gadgetry,” or “gizmo.” I don’t know about “geek” being up there, I feel that would be pretty misleading without the other tech-related guesses. This one wasn’t too hard; here’s hoping for more of a challenge tomorrow!
