Every round explained
For each round: why the official word links the clues, other answers that likely
earn partial points, and common wrong answers. Chainle scores any word by meaning, so near misses
still count; the official data only names the 1,000-point word. Links and near misses come from public dictionary and
word-association data: senses and synonyms from WordNet 3.1, related words from Datamuse, and phrases checked against
Google Books (a phrase is only called common if it is, and proper names never count).
Round 1 · Two-word bridge
road·cent
Round 1 answer
mile
Why mile is the link
Mile has to work with both clues at once.
Road is the weak link: US road distances and speed limits are measured in miles, so read mile as the ordinary land mile, not the nautical mile.
On the cent side: both are standard units named after Latin numbers: cent from centum (a hundred) and mile from mille passuum (“a thousand paces”).
The main dictionary sense to work from: a unit of length equal to 1,760 yards or 5,280 feet; exactly 1609.344 meters
.
Other answers that can score
No other accepted words are published for this round, but near misses still earn partial credit. Likely candidates (exact points are the game’s call):
- piece — related to road and cent, but less tightly.
Common wrong answers
One-sided guesses score almost nothing, because the weakest clue drags the round down:
- route — fits road, but not cent.
- Any clue word or a form of one (like roads) — rejected outright.
Round 2 · Two-word bridge
load·report
Round 2 answer
file
Why file is the link
File earns the full 1,000 because it connects both sides.
On the load side the link is contextual: the two words often appear in the same sentences.
Report is a looser fit: file appears in its list of related words, but not near the top. (“File Report” appears mostly capitalized, as a name or title, so it does not count as an ordinary phrase.)
The core sense of file here: a set of related records (either written or electronic) kept together
.
Other answers that can score
No other accepted words are published for this round, but near misses still earn partial credit. Likely candidates (exact points are the game’s call):
- charge, register — near-synonyms of file, likely the closest runners-up.
- management — related to load and report, but less tightly.
Common wrong answers
One-sided guesses score almost nothing, because the weakest clue drags the round down:
- burden — fits load, but not report.
- study — fits report, but not load.
- Any clue word or a form of one (like loads) — rejected outright.
Round 3 · Two-word bridge
delivery·entry
Round 3 answer
arrival
Why arrival is the link
Arrival has to work with both clues at once.
Arrival is among the words closest in meaning to delivery — close, though the dictionary does not call them synonyms. The matching dictionary sense of arrival: accomplishment of an objective
.
An entry is a kind of arrival, so this side is a category link.
The main dictionary sense to work from: the act of arriving at a certain place
.
Other answers that can score
No other accepted words are published for this round, but near misses still earn partial credit. Likely candidates (exact points are the game’s call):
- input, access, receipt, movement — related to delivery and entry, but less tightly.
Common wrong answers
One-sided guesses score almost nothing, because the weakest clue drags the round down:
- rescue — fits delivery, but not entry.
- involvement — fits entry, but not delivery.
- Any clue word or a form of one (like deliveries) — rejected outright.
Round 4 · Three-word bridge
facility·data·wildlife
Round 4 answer
resource
Why resource is the link
Resource is the one word that serves all three clues together.
Resource is among the words closest in meaning to facility — close, though the dictionary does not call them synonyms.
“data resource” is an everyday phrase (about 35 uses per billion words in Google Books), which is the bridge on this side.
Wildlife is the weak link: wildlife is managed as a natural resource, so read resource as a supply worth conserving.
Start from this sense of resource: available source of wealth; a new or reserve supply that can be drawn upon when needed
.
Plenty of words fit two of the three; resource is the one that keeps all three chains strong.
Other answers that can score
No other accepted words are published for this round, but near misses still earn partial credit. Likely candidates (exact points are the game’s call):
- provision, source, remedy — close to resource in meaning, but weaker on the clues.
Common wrong answers
One-sided guesses score almost nothing, because the weakest clue drags the round down:
- privy — fits facility, but not data or wildlife.
- computer — fits data, but not facility or wildlife.
- fauna — fits wildlife, but not facility or data.
- Any clue word or a form of one (like facilities) — rejected outright.
Round 5 · Closest connection
stem
Round 5 answer
root
Why root is the link
One clue, stem, and the task is its nearest partner in meaning, not just something associated with it. Root is the official 1,000-point word.
WordNet lists stem and root as synonyms in one of their senses, so this side is a straight synonym link.
The core sense of root here: the form of a word after all affixes are removed
.
Other answers that can score
No other accepted words are published for this round, but near misses still earn partial credit. Likely candidates (exact points are the game’s call):
- base, radical — near-synonyms of root, likely the closest runners-up.
- theme, fore — near stem in meaning, but not as close as root.
Common wrong answers
Related is not the same as closest in meaning:
- transplantation — goes with stem, but doesn’t mean the same thing.
- marrow — goes with stem, but doesn’t mean the same thing.
- Any clue word or a form of one (like stems) — rejected outright.
About this puzzle
Like every Chainle, #83 had three two-word bridges, one three-word bridge, and a closest-connection
round. Each round was worth up to 1,000 points, for a perfect score of 5,000. The official game scores any
dictionary word by meaning, so the near misses above earn partial credit, while one-sided guesses barely score.
