Content Modes
How content rotates inside your Playgent embed
Every Playgent embed has a content mode that decides what the visitor plays. Pick the one that matches how you want puzzles to behave on your site.
Pinned
One specific puzzle, never changes. Use this when the puzzle is part of the page — marketing pages, campaign landers, or any spot where the content needs to stay stable across visits.
Daily
A new puzzle every day, refreshed at midnight UTC. Use this for daily- engagement plays where visitors come back for fresh content.
Random
A different puzzle on every page load. Use this for loading-screen fillers or "play another" buttons where variety matters more than consistency.
Custom
You generate or write the puzzle yourself — from a topic, a URL, pasted text, or by filling in the words manually. The result is saved as a publication in My Generations and rendered to the visitor the same way a Pinned puzzle would be.
Contextual
One snippet across your entire CMS — the embed reads each article's text on first view and generates a matching puzzle automatically. The first visitor compiles the game; everyone after them plays the same one.
What publishers configure
In the Playground, Contextual mode is a content mode for one specific game — same as Pinned or Daily, just resolved per-article instead of from a publication id. Inside the contextual settings:
- Include selectors — read text only from elements matching these CSS
selectors. Falls back to the surrounding
<article>/<main>element when not set. - Exclude selectors — strip these elements before reading text. Useful for ads, related-link blocks, share buttons, and other non-article chrome.
If the snippet can't build a puzzle from the article (text too short, no eligible words, etc.) the embed simply hides — there's no fallback game.
Where to see what was generated
Generated contextual puzzles appear in My Generations → Contextual. Each row shows the article URL, the picked game, the status, and a link to open the puzzle in the Playground for editing or regeneration.
When to use it
Contextual is for publishers who want puzzles on every article without configuring each one. Drop the snippet once in your article template and every article gets a matching puzzle automatically.
