New Delhi, July 3 -- Word game enthusiasts chasing their daily streak have a fresh challenge to crack, and Friday's edition of Contexto proved trickier than usual for many players.

GOSSIP

Contexto has become one of the most talked-about entries in the daily word game category since Wordle popularized the format, and its appeal lies in a completely different mechanic. Rather than guessing letters, players type any word they like, and the game's AI ranks that guess based on meaning and context, not spelling. A guess close to the secret word in theme or usage will rank low, while an unrelated guess can land in the thousands. It rewards lateral thinking over vocabulary tricks, which is exactly why so many players got stuck today.

How today...
