What is Chainle?
Short answer: Chainle is a free daily word-connection game where one English word per round connects a series of clue words, across five rounds worth up to 5,000 points in total.
Chainle is a daily word-connection puzzle played in your browser. Instead of guessing a hidden word, you are given clue words and must supply the English word that links them together.
How a game unfolds
Every day brings five rounds, and each round asks for exactly one English word. Rounds 1–3 are two-word bridges: you need a single word that connects the two clue words. Round 4 raises the difficulty with a three-word bridge, one word that ties three clues together. Round 5 is a close-meaning round, where your word should sit as near as possible to the clue in meaning.
What an answer is worth
Each round is worth up to 1,000 points, so a full game reaches the 5,000-point cap. Your score reflects how strongly your answer connects to each clue, not simply whether it is “right”: a round has a featured answer and may also recognize alternatives that score full marks, while other valid words earn an estimated score.
