Context: TikTok Live Word Guessing Game

Guess the secret word by meaning.

Context hides one secret word and lets your whole chat hunt for it by meaning. Every word a viewer types gets a rank: number 1 is the secret, number 2 its closest neighbour, number 8,000 is nowhere near. The board keeps the closest guesses on screen with colored bars, green when chat is close, orange when it is getting warmer and red when it is far, so the room can see the trail closing in.

Built for a live chat

Each viewer sees their own guess pinned at the top with its rank, even when it lands far down the list, and sentences and chatter are ignored so only single words count. A new word opens with a few far-off starter words on the board, so new viewers see how ranks work before anyone types. When chat gets stuck the game reveals a closer word on its own, and gifts can reveal closer words and bigger hints, though never the answer itself.

Your words, your rules

Nearly 35,000 secret words across nine languages, from about 3,000 in Turkish to almost 5,000 in German, and the bank is yours to edit: hide the words you do not want, or add your own, which play first. Every word comes up once before any repeats, across your streams. Set the hints, the scoring, the colors and a title of your own, and turn on a How to play card from the dock whenever new viewers arrive.

Your chat is the controller.

Viewers take part with the gifts and comments they already send in your TikTok Live. Here is how a round of Context plays out.

Every word gets a rankViewers type single words in chat. Each one is ranked by how close its meaning is to the secret word, and number 1 is the answer.
Watch it get warmerThe closest guesses stay on the board with green, orange and red bars, and each viewer sees their own guess pinned at the top with its rank.
Hints keep it movingWhen nobody gets closer for a while, the game reveals a word about twice as close as the best guess. Hints stop a few steps short, so the last guess is always chat's.
Find it, win itThe first viewer to type the secret word scores the most and takes the podium with the two viewers who got closest. Getting closer than anyone before also scores.

Every trigger is yours to rewire.

Bind any action to a gift, comment, like, or follow, and set a minimum gift amount so only real support counts. Chain several triggers to one action, or point the same gift at something different. These are the actions Context exposes, ready to bind however you run your show.

Common questions about Context.

How do viewers play Context?

They type any single word in your TikTok Live chat. Each word gets a rank for how close its meaning is to the secret word, and the closest guesses fill the board. The first viewer to type the secret word wins the round.

Is it like Contexto?

It plays the same way as the popular daily word game, rebuilt for a live chat: the whole room guesses together, every viewer sees where their word landed, and there are hints, scores and a leaderboard. Context is our own game and not affiliated with it.

Do viewers need to send gifts to play?

No. Guessing is free and comment-driven, and automatic hints keep a stuck round moving. Gifts can reveal closer words and bigger hints, but never the answer.

Which languages does it support?

Nine: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Romanian, Russian and Turkish. Guesses typed without accents still count.

Can I choose the secret words?

Yes. The bank holds nearly 35,000 secret words across nine languages, and you can hide any of them or add your own, which play first. Every word comes up once before any repeats, across your streams.

Where do the rankings come from?

From word vectors trained on a large crawl of the web: fastText by Grave et al., used under the CC BY-SA 3.0 license. Words that often appear in similar contexts rank close together, so opposites like hot and cold can rank near each other too.

How do I add Context to my TikTok Live?

Add one browser source URL to OBS or your streaming software and go live. There is no plugin to install and nothing for your viewers to download.
