Chainle is a word chain game rather than a word grid: instead of guessing letters, you are guessing meaning. Each round shows two clue words, and your answer is scored against both at once. The weaker of the two similarities carries most of the weight, so leaning on one clue cannot produce a high score β the word has to sit in the overlap. A guess that matches the answer's meaning closely enough returns 100 and ends the round; anything else returns a number out of 100 with a sentence explaining which clue is dragging it down. You can guess as many times as you like within a round, and the number of guesses is what the coloured result card records. If a round defeats you, the third hint reveals the answer and the round is marked as unsolved.
