Today's answer & hints
Contexto answer today — August 15, 2026, puzzle #1427
Three clues that get progressively less subtle, the ten closest words with their exact ranks, and the answer itself — blurred until you decide you want it.
This page is updated every morning with the English puzzle. The English, Portuguese and Spanish editions each run their own word list, so today's answer is different in every language — if you play more than one, none of them spoils the others.
If you have not started yet, play today's puzzle first — everything below is more useful once you have a few ranks on the board, and the hints are written to nudge rather than solve. New to the ranking? The full guide explains what the numbers mean in about five minutes.
