What is it?

Contxtul is a daily word puzzle built around reading comprehension. Each day you'll read short passages with one word missing. Your job is to figure out what that word is using the surrounding context.

It's a quiet rebellion against the way we read now: skimming, scrolling, moving on. Every passage in the playtest was hand-written from scratch — 124 of them across four difficulty tiers — to give you something worth reading carefully.

How a passage works

I.
Read
A short passage appears with one word replaced by a blank. The blank shows you exactly how many letters the answer has.
II.
Guess
Type a word you think fits. You get four attempts. Use a hint key if you want one letter revealed.
III.
Get feedback
Each guess returns two layers of feedback — tile colors and a vibe reaction — to guide you toward the answer.

Difficulty Tiers

Each day brings four passages — one from each tier. Easy passages hand you the answer through obvious context. Medium requires you to track the full passage. Challenging demands precise vocabulary. Hard withholds more and rewards careful reading. Tiers can be played in any order.

What I'm asking of you...

Play and tell me what about the game works and what doesn't. Do passages feel fun, interesting, or are they frustrating? Do passages feel too easy, too hard, too vague, too specific, or just right? Does the game make you want to play more?

After playing, take a few minutes to fill out the feedback survey. Your honest reactions — especially the critical ones — are what help shapes Contxtul into what it becomes.

Ready when you are.
