Guess the secret word. Closer guesses get a lower number.
How these hints work
Contexto ranks every word by how close it is in meaning to the secret word, out of 70,000. The first three hints each reveal a word at a known rank — so a word ranked #10 is very nearly the answer, while #500 only points at the right topic.

The full answer is on its own page, so you only see it if you want to.
