Contexto is always a tricky word game to solve, but these hints will make it easier for you to find the solution.]]>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.

While World of Warcraft’s Shadowlands expansion may be over, there are still some reasons to head back to the Shadowlands and catch up on content you may have missed. If you’re looking to complete some transmog runs, grind out reputation, or add an old mount from the expansion to your collection, you’ll have to make sure that you’ve completed the Shadowlands introductory quests.
You can’t access the Shadowlands (or any portals to their capital city, Oribos) unless you’ve completed the introductory quests of the expansion. Thankfully, if you’re looking to unlock the zones of the Shadowlands on an alternate character, you’ll be able to skip the Shadowlands introduction and head right to Oribos. Still, you’ll need to pick up a short quest chain that allows you to do so in your faction’s capital city.

With each Act, VALORANT players are treated to new content like agents, maps, and modes. Each Act gives the community time to enjoy the additions without overloading them with too much new content, keeping the game fresh and fun.
