How are points calculated on chainle.wiki?
This site uses a transparent practice scorer for its local puzzle bank. Exact matches to the strongest known link score 1,000. Strong alternate links score in the mid to high hundreds. Weak or one-sided links score low.
- Exact strongest link: 1,000
- Top alternate: about 820
- Solid alternate: about 640
- Loose alternate: about 420
- Weak overlap: about 180
- Unrelated guess: about 40
What is a strong word connection?
A strong connection belongs with every clue at once. River works for Bank, Flow, and Bridge. Music works for Piano and Guitar. Answers that only lean on one clue leave points on the table.
Why do some answers score lower?
Two answers can both feel reasonable and still score differently. One may link every clue, while the other mainly fits a single clue. Semantic models also have limits, so nearby synonyms can land on different score bands.
Can different answers receive different scores?
Yes. Chainle is not a single-answer spelling quiz. Multiple words can be valid connections with different strengths. That is why the game shows points instead of only correct or incorrect.
How can I get 5,000 points?
