Chainle Solver — Find the Word That Links Two Words
Give the solver two words and it ranks the words that sit closest to both at once. It uses the same 50,000-word semantic model as the daily puzzle, so the results you see here are the scores a guess would earn in a real round. Useful for checking a hunch before you spend a guess, settling an argument about whether two words are related, or finding a fresh angle on a round you are stuck on.
How the Chainle solver works
Every word in the solver's vocabulary is stored as a 300-dimensional vector trained on a large text corpus. Words that appear in similar contexts end up close together, so “river” sits near “bank” and “money” sits near it too — for a completely different reason. The solver takes both of your words, measures the angle between each one and every candidate, and keeps the candidates that are close to both.
The ranking uses the weaker of the two similarities as its main signal, with a harmonic mean mixed in as a correction. That choice matters: without it, a word that is extremely close to one input would beat a word that is moderately close to both, which is the exact mistake the daily game is designed to punish. The 0–100 score comes from the same piecewise curve the game uses, so a 70 here means the same thing as a 70 in a round.
The solver only searches common English words. That keeps it fast enough to run on demand and keeps the results useful — obscure technical terms can score well by accident. If a word you typed is missing, the vocabulary is the reason, not a typo. Two words that share no plausible topic will produce weak results all round, which is itself a fair answer.
Ways to use it
- Check a guess before typing it. If a word scores in the seventies here, it will score about the same in the round.
- Break a dead round. Feed in the two clues of a round you are stuck on and read down the list for a word you had not considered.
- Test a hunch. Two words that feel related but have no obvious link often reveal a surprising bridge in the top five.
