Contexto tips for tomorrow
- Start with broad nouns. Words like PERSON, PLACE, FOOD and TIME quickly tell you which domain the answer lives in.
- Follow the green. Once a guess ranks under 100, try its synonyms and closely related objects.
- Think of the word's context. Ranks are based on how words appear together in text, not dictionary meaning. A word's typical neighbours rank well.
