Chainle - Daily Word Connection Game
Five rounds a day: find the one word that connects every clue. Play today's table or the unlimited mode free, right here - no account, no install.
How Chainle works
Five rounds, one connecting word per round, up to 1,000 points each.
Rounds 1-3: two-word bridge
One word that belongs with both clues. pizza + pasta → tomato
Round 4: three-word bridge
A single word that fits all three clues. bank + flow + bridge → river
Round 5: closest connection
One clue, one word nearest in meaning. violin → cello
Scoring
No single right answer - your word is scored on how close it is to every clue at once. Hit the strongest link for the full 1,000.
Tips for a better chain
Small habits that push scores up.
Balance beats brilliance: a word near both clues outscores a word perfect for one and dead for the other, because the clues are averaged with a harmonic mean. Think about the shared category first - object, action, property - then pick the most ordinary word in that overlap. Obscure answers rarely beat the obvious one.
Watch what gets rejected: clue words themselves, plurals and word-forms of a clue, names and filler words don't count. And the daily table resets at midnight - the same puzzle for everyone, with unlimited mode for practice rounds in between.
