Is Chainle free to play?
Short answer: Yes, Chainle is completely free to play and needs no account: you open the official site at chainle.net and can start playing immediately.
Chainle costs nothing. There is no paywall, no subscription and no limit on how often you can play: the daily puzzle, the practice pool and the archive are all open to any visitor.
No account required
You do not sign up, log in or hand over an email address. Your progress and streaks are saved directly in your browser’s local storage, which is also why nothing syncs between devices: the game has no server-side profiles to attach your statistics to.
What “free” does not mean
Free covers the game itself. Chainle Guide, this unofficial reference site, is also free to read, but it is a separate project: it does not host the game, knows nothing about your scores and adds nothing to your streak. To actually play, always use the official site at chainle.net, since several unrelated or fan-made sites use similar names and search results can be confusing.
If you are new to the game, the How to play guide covers everything you need for your first full five-round run.
