Today's Chill Quordle lands with puzzle #789, and today’s set moves through familiar ideas, with one doubled ending to watch for. Welcome to the 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): ORBIT
Word 2 (Top-Right): COUNT
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): CHEST
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): SNIFF
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
ORBIT: ORBIT is a noun for the path one body follows around another. In everyday use, it also describes the circle of people or activities around someone.
COUNT: COUNT is a verb meaning to tally items to find a total. It also appears in everyday requests to count someone in.
CHEST: CHEST is a noun for the upper front of the torso or a sturdy storage box. Everyday phrases such as “chest pain” and “toy chest” use both senses.
SNIFF: SNIFF is a verb meaning to draw air through the nose to detect a smell. You can also sniff when you have a cold.
The Difficulty Rating
I’d rate this quartet 2 out of 5: the vocabulary is familiar, though the four boards still reward careful tracking.
SNIFF is the hardest because its doubled F can hide behind a single confirmed F. COUNT is the easiest, with a straightforward meaning and no repeated letters.
Strategic Insights
Start with guesses that cover different vowels and common consonants. This quartet uses four standard vowels across its four answers: E, I, O, and U, with no A.
ORBIT, COUNT, and CHEST all end in T, while COUNT and CHEST also begin with C. Only SNIFF repeats a letter within its own answer, so keep room for its second F.
