Contexto #1514 Hints & Answer Today, November 10, 2026

Contexto #1514 is the game for Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, and the secret word is a noun with 10 letters. Below you get three hints, the thirty words the game ranks next to it in four groups, a rank-band table and two guesses that miss by a wide margin. The word itself sits at the end. Today’s list is all ideas and no objects, so the scoring notes on our Contexto page help more than usual.

Hints, from gentle to strong

1. Ten letters over three syllables.
2. A teacher uses it when saying a topic will be on the test.
3. It is what you give a task when it must go before the others on the list.

The 30 closest words, grouped by reason

These are ranks 2 to 31 from the game’s own list for game #1514. Two entries share the answer’s stem, so they are described instead of named. The reasons for the groups are ours; the game does not explain its rankings.

Weight and urgency. significance (2), an adjective built on the answer’s stem (3), a word for something on which success depends (10), critical (11), significant (13), relevance (14), vital (15), necessity (16), fundamental (29), an adverb built on the answer’s stem (31). Ten words, and the first three ranks sit here.

Stressing and focus. emphasis (4), emphasize (8), attention (18), focus (23), recognize (30). Five words about pointing at something.

Thought and care. understanding (5), regard (6), concern (7), consider (20), consideration (22), commitment (26), knowledge (28). Seven words about how a person treats a matter.

Parts and effects. aspect (9), particular (12), increase (17), role (19), fact (21), relation (24), implication (25), lack (27). Eight words about the pieces of a case and what follows from them.

What each rank band looks like

Rank band	Words in the band	Weight and urgency	Stressing and focus	Thought and care	Parts and effects
2 to 10	9	3	2	3	1
11 to 31	21	7	3	4	7
32 to 100	69	not grouped	not grouped	not grouped	not grouped

Ranks 32 to 100 are still abstract: responsibility (32), respect (33), improve (34), understand (35), context (38), impact (49), success (61), value (87), key (91). Even those near-synonym guesses sit well below the top thirty, so a guess in this band tells you the area is right and the exact word is not.

Two guesses that miss

Money, price and cost are natural places to start from the idea of worth, and none of them is among the 500 closest words the game lists. History feels like a safe abstract guess and ranks 326. Value, the closest of the worth words, sits at 87. All ranks come from the game’s own list for game #1514.

Plan the rest of the day on the November 2026 calendar or the weekly printable. The earlier puzzles are still up: Wordle, Connections and Strands from Monday.
