Show HN: Matle – A Chess Guessing Game Inspired by Wordle

2 matle_io 0 6/20/2025, 5:30:31 PM matle.io ↗

Hi HN,

Matle is a daily chess puzzle inspired by Wordle. You're shown a checkmate position with 5 hidden squares, and your goal is to guess what’s on them to complete the mate.

Someone kindly shared it here a few months ago before I had the chance to post it myself. I’m the creator, and wanted to share a few new features based on feedback, and hear your thoughts.

You can now view the original game behind each puzzle, get explanations for why a guess isn’t checkmate, and see daily solving stats.

Would love to hear what you think: https://matle.io
