Chainle
Continue a chain of associated words. Each step has to connect to the word before it.
DleBox's guide
Chainle is a daily word-association game played at chainle.io. Krillion's own site links to it as a separate game. A turn asks you to offer a word that connects to the previous one, so the puzzle is a chain rather than a hidden five-letter target. DleBox did not build Chainle, does not host the board, and does not keep its answer chain. If the original site changes a rule, the original site is the version that counts. This page describes the public idea and sends you there.
Association is a different feedback from Wordle's colored letters. A legal link is about meaning or a shared context, which puts Chainle nearer to Semantle and Contexto than to Quordle. Those two still hide one target word and score your distance from it. Chainle's interest is the step from word to word. Connections also cares about hidden relationships, and it shows you sixteen words already chosen. Chainle asks you to produce the next word yourself.
Because we do not operate the game, we do not publish a guess limit, a reset timezone, or today's chain. Inventing any of those would be a guess presented as a fact. The directory button opens chainle.io. Use that page for the daily. Use this page to decide whether the association chain is the daily you wanted.
Rules
- You play the daily on chainle.io.
- Each word has to associate with the previous step.
- The chain is the puzzle, not a single five-letter word.
- DleBox does not host the board.
- DleBox does not publish the day's chain.
Why we like it
- ✓ The link between two words is the whole move.
- ✓ It is a neighbor of meaning games, not of anagram grids.
- ✓ The original site is one click away, labeled as the place to play.
If you want a game that stays on DleBox, Krillion is the one we host. It gives you a category and scores a rarer member more highly. That is not an association chain, and a Chainle result does not transfer. Absurdle keeps a Wordle grid and moves the target. Waffle shows every letter. None of those is Chainle with a new name.
About the game
