#42Bonus points if you can do some prompt engineering to instruct ChatGPT how to play the game.

#43I find redactle and its clones to be better games than the context ones because the similarity measures are inherently without any sense, and so even if you guess the correct word it often feels like pure luck.
In redactle winning by pure luck still happens, but at least in hindsight you can tell where you went astray, in contexto the answer often turns out to be "because you aren't a high dimensional word embedding trained by Open AI".
Re: Contexto: Find the Secret Word
#44Interesting. Took me way too long to realize that "close" is measured semantically, not lexically. A good strategy is to go up and down the ladder of abstraction, e.g. if "car" is close, try "engine" and "vehicle."
The semantic similarity is not always sensible, either. The underlying model needs some work. (spoilers for today below) . . . . . . . These are some of my guesses for today, in order of similarity: kilometer 3501 authority 3149 tomato 2960 exercise 2357 fruit 2008 healthy 1715 run 972 input 927 power 909 foot 598 meter 300 control 159 Ugh!

#45It’s a little janky. My word was “temperature”. I got to “water” (no. 29) and then got stuck. Words leading up to it were rain, cloud, storm. Hard to take the leap from there to “temperature”
I had it easier, won on 9 guesses:
temperature 1
heat 5
hot 83
light 292
sun 496
burn 1066
car 2663
girlfriend 16293

#46I played contexto.me #168 and got it in 29 guesses and 6 tips.

Re: Contexto: Find the Secret Word
#47Few months back, I also tried to create a short puzzle game called Diffudle. The game was basically AI Art + Wordle. You were given an AI generated image and you have to guess the prompt for it. Initially, I got some traction on the site and even some strangers started promoting it. But I soon realized that there is very little marketing spend reward. The customers spend no money and ad revenue per user is abysmal. T…
>it still couldn't reach a self sustaining level
This site sounds like you could get away with free static hosting after pregenerating a few hundred puzzles locally.

#48When I select give up, I dont see an option to conrifm when it asks me if I really want to.. im using my phone to play.
I had to turn Safari content blocking off to get the confirmation buttons to appear if that helps.
Re: Contexto: Find the Secret Word
#49Seems similar to https://semantle.com/ but backed by a different "similarity" calculation. The "bar" visualization is also nicer to track how close/far you are.
I might as well take this opportunity to plug my clone of Semantle which uses a tSNE visualization. I've heard many people say this helps them visualize the chains of logic in their guesses. https://semantle.pimanrul.es/
My partner and I were consumed by this for a while. There's something very satisfying about hopping from cluster to cluster and recognizing the various meanings of a word.
Makes me wonder what 3D (or even 4D) version would be like.
Re: Contexto: Find the Secret Word
#50Something is missing, I feel like. The basic idea is sound, but it's painful to both start and end a game, and winning isn't very satisfying. One of wordle's biggest flaws is "the opening". If you're going to have a daily puzzle, it shouldn't be exactly the same board to start every day. Games are so fast that this idea doesn't totally work there, but I think it would be better if they gave you a starting word every…
Hi you are describing my game, Lexicode.

I am currently remaking it as a web app rather than a unity app.
