Chainle archive by month
November 2026
One revealed puzzle is listed for this month so far. Open a date to read that Chainle puzzle and play it again. The page is the record of our own clues, not a mirror of another game's calendar.
How a date gets onto this list
Chainle.me publishes one daily set at 00:00 UTC. The home page serves whichever set matches the UTC date at the time Chainle was built, and a small note appears in the browser if that build is still showing yesterday after the clock has moved. The Chainle archive does not try to guess ahead. A date page is generated only when the date is less than or equal to the build clock. The Chainle sitemap receives the same filter. That is why the Chainle archive page can look short on the first day and longer after more builds.
The puzzle number is counted from 10 November 2026, which is No. 1 on this site. The number is ours. It is not borrowed from any other word game's issue count. If you see No. 1, you are on the launch set. Later numbers follow the UTC calendar one day at a time, including days you personally skipped. Skipping a day changes your streak. It does not remove the date from the archive once that date has been released.
What you will find on a date page
The Chainle archive page repeats the five rounds as a playable board and then writes the round out in sentences. You will see the clues. After that UTC date has passed, the next build adds the listed connections and why each one holds. On the day itself those words stay off the page. The later explanation is specific to those words. It is not a slogan pasted onto every date. Because the puzzles belong to Chainle.me, publishing them after the day is a record of our own work. It is not an answer key for chainle.io, and this archive does not host that game's clues.
The board on a date page uses archive storage. Finish it, refresh, and the scores for that date come back. The daily streak on the home page does not grow, even if the date you replayed happens to be today. Today's first completion has to happen on the home board, on the UTC date printed there. This split is deliberate. It lets the archive be generous — you can replay — without letting replays counterfeit a streak. The Chainle scoring rules still apply, number for number, on the archive board.
How to move between dates
Start from today, or start from the Chainle archive if you missed a day: play Chainle, then use the previous and next links on a date page. Every revealed date is two clicks from the home page. The how to play Chainle page stays available if a round type is still fuzzy. Chainle Unlimited sets are not listed in the Chainle archive. Use Chainle Unlimited for those.
If a date you expected is missing, it has not reached 00:00 UTC, or Chainle has not been rebuilt since that instant. Chainle.me is a static site on purpose. Unreleased puzzles stay in the private data files, and Chainle copies only revealed days into HTML. Waiting is the feature. Writing to hello@chainle.me will not unlock tomorrow early.
Read a date page for the connections, not for a verdict about your intelligence. A 40-point score means the word was recognized and unlisted. A higher preset score means we wrote that alternative down. The explanation under the board says which sense we were rewarding. If you disagree, the disagreement is useful, and the limit of a hand-checked list is already part of the scoring page. The Chainle archive keeps that reasoning next to the puzzle after the day has moved on, so the game is more than a button that forgets itself at midnight.
A month group is only a way to scan. It is not a ranking of difficulty and it is not a promise that every day in the month has the same theme. Open a date when you want that day's five rounds. Come back to this list when you want another one. The newest revealed date is the one the home page is playing, or the one it was playing when the site was last built. Older dates stay where they are.
If you are new, read how the three round types differ before you replay a hard day. The rules page is short on purpose. This index is the map. The date page is the game and the explanation together. That split is why a search for an old day can land on a page with real sentences, not a link dump, and why this list itself explains the calendar before it offers the links.
Replay storage, streaks, and practice
An archive board writes to chainle.archive.v1, keyed by the date in the URL. Finish 10 November and only that date's replay is updated. The home page keeps chainle.progress.v1 and chainle.streak.v1 for the UTC day you are actually in. Opening an old date cannot mark today complete. If you want the streak, finish the set on the home page before 00:00 UTC. The Chainle archive page will still be there tomorrow.
Chainle Unlimited has no dates, so it does not appear in the month lists above. The Chainle archive is the record: a fixed five-round puzzle and a page a search engine can read without executing the board. The clues and the reasons are in the HTML. The script only restores a local replay.
What this index refuses to list
Tomorrow is absent until tomorrow. Chainle filtered the calendar at 00:00 UTC and wrote a page only for dates that had arrived. Future answers are not in this HTML. Chainle does not hide a file in a menu while leaving it in a downloadable JSON. Released Chainle dates are the pages you can open. The rest of the stock stays unpublished.
If you are looking for a hints page, a solver, or another site's daily words, this archive will not grow into that. The Chainle FAQ says the same thing in shorter lines. The how to play Chainle page uses classroom examples that are not dated, so you can learn a bridge without opening a puzzle the calendar has not released. When a new date does release, it shows up here as its own link, under its own month, with its own five rounds. Until that build, the honest index is the short one.
