Contexto 736 answer – Sept. 23 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.”

The answer for the Contexto puzzle for Sept. 23, Contexto 736, has something to do with water. The classic “water” opening has worked perfectly today, it’s been a while! From there I went for “ocean” and “sea,” my standard follow-ups to a good water guess.

They missed the mark, but house-related objects to do with water didn’t, like “hose,” “basin,” “shower,” and “tub.” Anything that involves plumbing all popped up in the top 30, but when “faucet” hit number two, it was very clear what today’s Contexto answer would be. Crack out your thesaurus: What’s another word for “faucet” starting with T?
