Wo speelt man dat Chessle

Chessle is a daily chess puzzle dressed up like Wordle. You get a real position from the Lichess open puzzle database — checkmate-in-N, win material, or find the only defence — and 6 attempts to find the winning sequence. Drag your pieces on the board, then press Submit. Every move you played is graded with four colours: dark green (right piece on the right square), green (right piece, wrong square), tan (right square, wrong piece), grey (neither). The opponent answers between your moves — instantly with the canonical reply when you're on the line, or with a real chess-engine reply when you go astray. The position of the day is the same for every player worldwide; difficulty is Medium for everyone in Daily, with Easy and Hard tiers in Unlimited. Free, no account, no ads during play.

How Chessle works

Read the position

Each puzzle starts from a real game. The setup move is played for you; you're now on move. The status line tells you whose turn it is and how many moves you have to play this attempt.

Drag your moves

Drag a piece to its square — or tap to select, tap to move. The opponent answers between your moves: instantly with the canonical reply when you're on the line, or with a real chess-engine reply when you deviate.

Submit when ready

Use Take back to undo any of your pending moves. When the move-pip row at the top is full, hit Submit. Every move in your attempt is graded at once.

Read the four colours

Dark green = right piece on the right square. Light green = right piece, wrong square. Tan = right square, wrong piece. Grey = neither. The legend stays visible; use the colours to repair your line on the next attempt.

Solve in attempts

Find the puzzle's intended sequence within six attempts. Daily plays Medium for everyone — same position worldwide. Unlimited adds Easy and Hard tiers.

Every move you submit is graded against the puzzle's intended sequence. Same idea as Wordle's tiles, just per chess move — dark green is exact, light green and tan are partial credit, grey is neither. Use the colours to repair your line on the next attempt.

Faken stellte Fragen

What is Chessle?
Chessle is a daily chess puzzle with Wordle-style colour grading. Each day everyone gets the same position from the Lichess open puzzle database — checkmate-in-N, win material, or find the only defence. You drag your pieces on the board, press Submit, and every move you played is graded with four colours. You have 6 attempts.
How does the four-colour grading work?
After Submit, every move in your attempt is graded against the puzzle's intended sequence. Dark green = right piece on the right square (exact ply). Light green = right piece, wrong square. Tan = right square, wrong piece. Grey = neither. Same idea as Wordle's tiles, but per chess move.
What happens between my moves?
The opponent answers immediately. If you played the puzzle's intended move, you see the canonical reply from the original game. If you deviated, a real chess engine (js-chess-engine, MIT-licensed) calculates a sensible response so the position keeps making sense as you finish your attempt.
Where do the puzzles come from?
All puzzles come from Lichess's open puzzle database, released under CC0 1.0. We curate by rating and popularity, then bucket into Easy / Medium / Hard tiers. Daily uses Medium so everyone in the world plays the same puzzle.
Are there difficulty levels?
Daily is Medium for everyone — same position worldwide so scores are comparable. Unlimited mode lets you pick Easy, Medium, or Hard. Easy is mostly forced one-move wins; Hard demands quiet moves and longer calculation.
Do I need a chess account?
No. Chessle is free, no login, no Lichess or chess.com account required. Sign-in is optional and only used to sync your stats across devices.
Why are the chess pieces from Wikimedia?
We use Cburnett's classic chess piece SVGs from Wikimedia Commons (BSD-3-Clause licence) — the same set Lichess and Wikipedia use. Move validation is by chess.js (BSD-2-Clause); engine replies are by js-chess-engine (MIT). Credits are listed at the bottom of every Chessle page.
Is there an unlimited mode?
Yes. Visit wordle.global/nds/chessle/unlimited for endless puzzles in your chosen tier. Unlimited stats are tracked separately from your daily streak.
