What you will find in the Chainle archive
The Chainle archive is a date-based index of daily puzzles that have already been published on this site. Each entry shows its calendar date and puzzle number. Select an entry to open that edition’s five rounds and play the clues again. The list grows as new daily puzzles become past puzzles.
Only available published dates appear here. The current day’s puzzle is not part of the Chainle archive until it becomes an earlier date. Dates change at midnight UTC, which may differ from your local midnight. If the collection has just started, the list may contain only a few entries; use Earlier puzzles when the button appears to load an older batch.
Choose a date in Chainle history
Use the date and puzzle number to find a particular day in Chainle history. The newest available past date appears first. Select Earlier puzzles to add older entries when more dates are available. Each archive link opens a dated edition, so you can return directly to the puzzle you meant to replay.
The archive is a record of published daily editions, not a list of your personal guesses. It does not show answers in the date list. Open a date to play its clues, then submit a valid word to see that round’s score and connection details.
Replay a past Chainle puzzle
A past Chainle puzzle keeps its original date and round selection. Play its five rounds at your own pace. The game saves progress in this browser when local storage is available. Opening a saved archive edition restores its progress or completed result rather than resetting it for a fresh attempt.
Replaying does not replace your first recorded daily score for that puzzle date. If you are comparing results with someone else, confirm that you both played the same date and edition. Your saved guesses are local to your browser and are not shown as a personal history list on the archive page.
Use Chainle history for another round of practice
Chainle history is useful when you missed a daily challenge, want to revisit a particular date, or want to practise with a known set of clues. It is different from Unlimited: the archive opens a specific published date, while unlimited practice selects another session from the practice collection.
For a fresh puzzle, return to today’s game or choose Unlimited. For a puzzle you remember, select its date in the Chainle archive. These links keep each play mode clear and take you straight to the task you want to do.
Chainle archive questions
How do I play an earlier Chainle puzzle?
Choose a date in the Chainle archive. Its link opens that published five-round edition for replay.
Why is today’s puzzle missing from Chainle history?
The archive lists past dates. Today’s edition becomes an archive entry after the calendar date changes and it is an earlier published puzzle.
Does replaying a past puzzle change my original score?
No. Your first recorded daily score for that date remains the recorded result.
Does the Chainle archive show my previous guesses?
No. The archive lists puzzle dates and numbers. Your in-progress guesses are saved locally in your browser when storage is available.
How can I find older dates?
Select Earlier puzzles below the current list to load the next available batch of older published dates.
