Chess and Word Guess Are Live
Two more additions to Games — one strategic, one a daily-puzzle favorite.
Chess
Full chess against an AI opponent, complete with legal move validation, check and checkmate detection, and automatic pawn promotion. Click a piece to see its legal moves highlighted, then click a destination square to move.
Three difficulty levels change how far ahead the AI thinks:
- Easy — casual play, beatable without much strategy
- Medium — a real challenge, occasional tactical mistakes
- Hard — searches several moves ahead, plays a strong game
New to chess? The in-game "How to Play" guide covers how each piece moves — pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queens and kings — along with check and checkmate basics.
Word Guess
Guess the hidden 5-letter word in 6 tries. After each guess, tiles reveal:
- 🟩 Green — correct letter, correct position
- 🟨 Yellow — correct letter, wrong position
- ⬛ Gray — letter isn't in the word
Type directly or use the on-screen keyboard, which tracks which letters you've already tried.
Both games support the same score-sharing and embed features as every other Utilio game — copy the embed code to add either one to your own site.',
