Got a little bored with Wordle, so thought I’d try a new one. Contexto is supposedly inspired by Wordle, but it seems completely different to me. I found it pretty challenging, but maybe it’s just because it was my first try.
I played contexto.me #155 and got it in 44 guesses and 3 tips.

Here are the rules:
I had to give up. Will try again tomorrow
Reminds me of a similar game a while back, although I don’t remember the name. You beat me by 9 guesses, but I didn’t use any tips.
I played contexto.me #155 and got it in 53 guesses.
This definitely made a difference.
Yes, I think it’s quite similar to
Someone do yesterday’s. I actually got >99% there randomly on the 5th guess, which was the 6th closest word and narrowed it down to a dozen or so equally likely options, but it took another eight goes of trial and error to find the right one. 
I played contexto.me #154 and got it in 13 guesses.
I think I got lucky on this one, starting with words that enabled me to narrow it down quickly. Some of the logic the algorithm uses to determine the closeness of words isn’t making a lot of sense to me though.
I played contexto.me #156 and got it in 15 guesses.

Didn’t the taxonomy seem a little off to you?
I suppose it depends how you approach the final word? Spoiler:
Yours makes a little more sense than mine, but yeah, still some pretty curious logic.
Someone posted this or a very similar one long ago, and I found it very difficult.
Not bad for a first try.
Yeah it seems to be making associations in a definite way and not in like a Family Feud style survey human way. There is a clear pattern if you look at the full results. It will be interesting to see how it works for other parts of speech.
IIRC it doesn’t use any algorithm but a Google graph database with the distance between terms.
In their own words:
