I have some difficulties to understand the meaning of 詰む in the context

> あなたとは違{ちが}ってね」 冷静{れいせい}に返{かえ}されオレは言葉{ことば}を **詰{つ}まらせた** 。
>
> I am different from you. She returned my words calmly and " _I was
> checkmated / I was at loss" ??_

the dictionary gives for

> 詰む (shogi) to be checkmated; to be hard pressed; to be at a loss; to reach
> the limits;

but I cannot figure the meaning of 詰む in the context and its association with
言葉

By the way, I am aware the Causative-Passive form (to force something on
somebody) is used. Does it alter significantly the use of 詰む ?

Meaning and nuance of 詰む / 詰まる
Ok

I made a mistake: I thought that the **passive causative** form was used with
詰む.

But in fact, the verb was 詰まる **with the causative** and the dictionary gives:

> 言葉{ことば}に詰{つ}まる (exp,v5r) to be at a loss for words
