Show HN: Matle – Chess guessing puzzle. Would love your feedback

Posted by matle_io on Sunday December 21, 2025 @01:16PM
from the show-hn dept.

I built Matle, a daily chess guessing puzzle, inspired by Wordle.

Each day there’s a real checkmate position, but some squares on the board are hidden. You guess which squares are missing to reconstruct the position and find the mate.

One puzzle per day, same for everyone.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the idea, difficulty, and UX.

Hey, I've been playing this game for a while! The difficulty levels can be more accurate, but really love the concept!
