Welcome to Contraptcha, the word and AI art game! WARNING: AI-generated images may be explicit or troubling.
Images are generated from six nouns. Identify a word to remove it from the generated images. AI is stupid and bad at everything, so think creatively!
If you guess a wrong word you'll see how close it is. Click a word to “peek” and remove it from the images. Click “hint” to get a related word, but it'll cost you points.
There's a new puzzle every day, and lots of other puzzles too.
This is Contraptcha, the word and art game no one asked for!
(WARNING: These images are AI generated. Some may be racist, erotic, troubling, or anything else.)
Contraptcha is a word puzzle inspired by AI-generated art and CAPTCHAs. In this game, you're presented with four images, each drawn by AI from the same prompt. The prompt is simply a sequence of English nouns. Every time you find one of the words, that's removed from the prompt, so you see the images generated with one word less. Your goal is, of course, to find every word.
Remember: AI is stupid and bad at everything, so you may have to think outside the box.
If you enter a word that's not part of the prompt, a “semantic similarity” will be shown for whichever word it's most similar to. For instance, if the word is “space” and you enter “stars”, you'll get a high semantic similarity, whereas if the word is “pig” and you enter “stars”, you'll get a low semantic similarity.
You can “peek” through any word, showing how the images would be generated without any one of the words you don't know. Click the word's guess box (the question marks), or enter a number from 1–6. What you're doing is removing a word, so if you remove word 4 and the stars disappear from the image, that means word 4 probably is star or stars!
When you only have one word left, you can do the opposite: re-add any other word to the displayed image. This means that when you have only one word left, you can pair it with any of the words you already know.
If you're stumped, you can let the game guess a random word for you by clicking the “hint” button or typing “/hint”. But, your score will be penalized!
You start with 100 points and lose them when you make incorrect guesses. The closer the guess is to correct, the fewer points you lose (you can lose 0 if it's very close!). When you use a hint, you lose three times the tens place of the hint's similarity in points. Oh, and your points can go negative! If you restart a game, you do get to restart from 100 points, but your score will be shown with an asterisk.
There's a puzzle of the day every day, and lots of other (not “of-the-day”) puzzles to play too!
