What this edition offers
You can play a daily calendar selection, try extra practice rounds, reveal explanations, and compare your scores. Everything runs in your browser without an account. This edition is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official answer service for any other game using the Chainle name.
Puzzle sources & editorial approach
The puzzle bank contains 32 original sets authored for this site. Connections use common English compounds and phrases. Each solution includes an explanation for all four clues. The bank is packaged with the site, and its daily selection repeats every 32 UTC days starting November 10, 2026.
Daily answers are calculated from that same packaged bank and UTC date. We do not scrape another game’s answers or claim that our calendar matches another publisher’s. The worked examples and scoring comparisons describe this edition’s rules, rather than research findings about player performance.
All performance statistics come from rounds saved in your current browser. There are no invented testimonials, global player counts, or estimated average scores. A local result can be edited by someone with access to the browser, so it is not proof of competitive standing.
Contact & report a puzzle issue
Found an ambiguous clue, an incorrect explanation, or an accessibility problem? Prepare a report below. Include the UTC puzzle date, all four clues, what you entered, and what you expected.
Contact availability: This static edition does not include a monitored email address or a report inbox. The form creates a text file on your device; it sends nothing. Share that file with the operator through the channel that provided you with this website. No response time is promised.

What stays on your device
The game uses one localStorage entry named chainle-original-v1 to save guesses, hints, round status, and up to 200 completed score records. This stores the UTC date, mode, score, attempts, hints, and result. No name, email address, or account is requested. Report text stays in the page or the file you choose to download.
What the site sends
The application includes no analytics, advertising, external fonts, or third-party scripts. It does not upload game progress, reports, or comparison scores. Your hosting provider still receives normal page requests and may keep access logs, including IP address and browser information, according to its own policy.
Retention and deletion
Saved game data remains until you clear it, your browser removes it, or old completed records pass the 200-record limit. You can delete all local game data on the scores page or clear this site’s storage through your browser settings. No server copy exists to recover. Private browsing and storage restrictions can prevent saving.
Children and personal information
Playing does not require personal information. Do not include personal details in an issue report. Because reports are not submitted to an inbox by this application, requests about a deployed host’s logs must go to that host’s operator.
Accessibility & technology
The site uses semantic HTML, keyboard-operable controls, visible focus states, readable type, and text feedback alongside color. Core instructions and an example answer are available without JavaScript. Interactive gameplay and browser statistics require JavaScript. There are no installation or build steps.
