I do not get what need means here. Should you answer yes if there is one word in the book you do not know the meaning of? I definitely need a dictionary if I want to exactly understand all words in most books I read.
There are also a lot of words that are very easy to guess wrong what they mean. For me it is adjective like "bemused" and "gingerly" (these two words I read books more than 10 years and not noticing that I had guessed wrong). So it is false that you always can guess from context what the word mean.
