Today's Chill Quordle lands with puzzle #787, and the four words span similarity, everyday actions and a prickly object. Welcome in, and take them one clue at a time.
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 2 (Top-Right): LEAVE
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): THORN
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): RENEW
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
ALIKE: ALIKE is an adjective meaning similar, as in two designs that look alike. In everyday use, it commonly follows the things being compared.
LEAVE: LEAVE is a verb meaning to go away from a place or person. It also works naturally when you leave an item somewhere for later.
THORN: THORN is a noun for a sharp projection on a plant. In everyday speech, a thorn can also be a persistent annoyance.
RENEW: RENEW is a verb meaning to extend something's validity or restore it. You can renew a subscription or renew your interest in a hobby.
The Difficulty Rating
This quartet rates 3 out of 5 for difficulty. RENEW is the hardest, since its repeated E and final W can keep an otherwise promising guess from fitting.
THORN is the easiest to recognize once its consonants appear, thanks to its concrete meaning and lack of repeated letters. LEAVE adds another repeated E, while ALIKE spreads three different vowels across its spelling.
Strategic Insights
Test A, E, I and O early, then use a fresh guess to check the consonants in THORN. That gives the vowel-rich answers coverage while keeping the consonant-heavy corner in view.
LEAVE and RENEW each use E twice. ALIKE shares A, L and E with LEAVE, while THORN shares R and N with RENEW, so confirmed letters still need careful placement.
