Today's Chill Quordle lands with puzzle #773, and brings a friendly quartet with concrete meanings, clean spellings, and just enough variety to keep every grid interesting. Welcome in, and enjoy today’s board.
The Basics (For New Players)
Quordle gives you 12 attempts to crack four five-letter words at once. Each guess applies to all four grids simultaneously. A green tile means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the right letter in the wrong position, and gray means that letter is not in that particular word.
This is the roomier daily format with fewer unusual words. The goal stays the same: solve all four quadrants before the guesses run out.

Word 1 (Top-Left): CRIED
Word 2 (Top-Right): CLIMB
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): THORN
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): GLOVE
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
CRIED: CRIED is the past tense and past participle of the verb cry, meaning to shed tears or call out loudly. In everyday speech, it commonly describes an emotional reaction, as in crying from relief or frustration.
CLIMB: CLIMB is a verb meaning to move upward, and it can also be a noun for an ascent. Everyday usage covers literal movement up stairs or hills as well as figurative rises in prices, rankings, or temperature.
THORN: THORN is a noun for a hard, sharp projection on a plant. It also appears figuratively in the phrase “a thorn in one’s side” for a persistent source of irritation.
GLOVE: GLOVE is a noun for a hand covering with separate sections for the fingers and usually the thumb. The word applies broadly to winter clothing, protective equipment, and sporting gear.
The Difficulty Rating
This quartet earns a 2 out of 5 for difficulty. CRIED is the hardest answer because an inflected verb can be overlooked, while GLOVE is the easiest thanks to its concrete meaning and familiar form.
CLIMB carries the clearest spelling trap with its silent final B, and CRIED places its two vowels together near the end. THORN and GLOVE follow more direct, recognizable patterns once their core consonants appear.
Strategic Insights
Start with broad coverage of E, I, and O alongside distinct consonants, then use the resulting placements to separate the two vowel-light answers from the two with an extra vowel.
None of the four answers repeats a letter internally. CRIED and CLIMB share C and I in matching positions, CLIMB and GLOVE share L in the second position, and THORN and GLOVE share O in the third.
