Explainle

Explainle is a daily word game where you explain a target word to an AI guesser without using any forbidden words, and your goal is to make it guess correctly in 5 tries or less.

You're given a target word and a list of banned words you can't use in your explanation. Type a creative hint that describes the word without triggering the forbidden list. An AI animal then takes a guess based on your clue. If it's wrong, you refine your explanation and try again.

• Each day gives you a new target word with specific forbidden words.
• You write a text explanation without using any of the banned terms.
• The AI guesser responds with its best guess.
• You have 5 attempts to guide it to the correct answer.
• The challenge is finding creative ways around the most obvious descriptors.

Why we like it:

• ✅Flexes your vocabulary in ways most word games don't.
• ✅The AI's guesses range from surprisingly sharp to hilariously off base.
• ✅Forces you to think about words from unexpected angles.

Hint: Think function over form. If you can't name what something is, describe what it does, where you find it, or what it's made of. Synonyms are your best friend.
