Chessle — Wordle Quenya
A chess puzzle a day. Drag your moves, submit when ready, learn from the Wordle-coloured feedback. Six attempts, one daily position worldwide.
How to Play 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
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Tips & Strategy
Words like CRANE, STARE, or ADIEU test common letters quickly. Knowing which vowels are present narrows options fast.
Green letters stay locked. Yellow letters must move. Gray letters are eliminated. Each guess should use all three clues.
English words often end in -TION, -IGHT, -OUND, -MENT. Other languages have their own patterns — learn them.
Your second word should test new letters, not repeat confirmed ones. Cover as many untested consonants as possible.
Words like CREEK, FLOSS, or APPLE are common traps. If your clues don't add up, consider a repeated letter.
Hard mode forces you to use confirmed clues in every guess. It builds better habits even when you switch back to normal.
