Terms of Use
Last updated: 2026-11-10
Using Chainle
Chainle is provided free of charge for personal, non-commercial entertainment. You may play as often as you like, share your results, and link to any page on the site. You may not resell access, mirror the service, or present it as your own product.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to overload or disrupt the service, automate mass requests against the scoring endpoint, or probe for vulnerabilities without permission. The puzzles and their answers are published openly; scraping them is unnecessary, since the answer pages already provide them in human-readable form.
Intellectual property
The Chainle name, design, puzzle writing, explanations and hint text are protected by copyright and belong to the site owner. Individual words and their ordinary meanings are not owned by anyone. Quoting a short answer page with a link back is fine; republishing the puzzle archive in bulk is not.
Scores and availability
Scores are produced by a semantic similarity model and are an approximation of how strongly a word connects two clues. They are not a judgement of correctness in any objective sense, and we may adjust the model or the threshold between puzzles. The service is offered as-is, without a guarantee of uptime, and may change or pause at any time.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Chainle is provided without warranties of any kind, and the site owner is not liable for any loss arising from use of the site, including lost streaks, lost data in browser storage, or interrupted play.
