Contexto #1515 Hints & Answer Today, November 11, 2026

Contexto #1515 is the game for Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, and the secret word is a noun of 4 letters. This page gives three hints, the thirty words the game ranks closest in four groups, a rank-band table and two guesses that land far away. The word waits at the end. Today’s list is crowded with one theme, so the scoring notes on our Contexto page matter when you read the ranks.

Hints, from gentle to strong

1. One syllable, four letters.
2. Everything in the closest thirty is part of a person.
3. A beard grows on it, and a cleft or dimple can sit in its middle.

The 30 closest words, grouped by reason

These are ranks 2 to 31 from the game’s own list for game #1515; rank 1 is the secret word. The reasons for the groups are ours, because the game does not explain its rankings.

Features of the face. cheek (2), forehead (3), eyebrow (5), jawline (6), cheekbone (7), jowl (10), lip (11), jaw (14), brow (15), nose (16), eyelid (17), ear (21), eye (24), face (26), tongue (29), mouth (30). Sixteen words, more than half the list, and the first rank after the answer sits here.

Arms and hands. shoulder (8), finger (12), hand (18), elbow (20), forearm (28), arm (31). Six words that run from the shoulder down to the fingers.

Hips and legs. thigh (4), knee (9), buttock (13), leg (19), toe (23), hip (25). Six words from the lower half of the body.

Neck and trunk. neck (22), chest (27). Two words that sit between the head and the legs.

What each rank band looks like

Rank band	Words in the band	Face	Arms and hands	Hips and legs	Neck and trunk
2 to 10	9	6	1	2	0
11 to 31	21	10	5	4	2

Just past the top thirty the list keeps going the same way: whisker (32), breast (33), fist (34), crotch (35), sag (36), tuck (37), sideburn (38), hair (39). Beard is 44 and smile is 51, so a guess about a feature or a gesture of the face still lands in the top fifty.

Two guesses that miss

Shaving is a natural thought for a word tied to the face, and it leads to stubble, which ranks 317. A fighter’s word such as punch leads nowhere: it is outside the 500 words the game lists. This puzzle pulls toward parts of the body; actions done to the body rank much lower. All ranks come from the game’s own list for game #1515.

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 Tuesday.
