  4. Reach rank 1, or reveal the answer after ten verified guesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does WordRadar rank guesses?

Each accepted word receives an exact closeness rank. Rank 1 is the hidden answer, and lower ranks mean your guess is warmer.

What are Signal Sectors?

Signal Sectors mark distinct semantic routes near the answer. Their descriptive labels are revealed only after the game ends.

Do hints consume guesses?

No. Clue, Stronger clue, and Final clue are recorded separately and never increase the valid guess count.

Is WordRadar the same as Contexto?

No. WordRadar is an independent ClueJam game and is not affiliated with Contexto. Both use warmer-or-colder word feedback, while WordRadar adds Signal Sectors, progressive clues, and a completed Meaning Map.
