Today's Chill Quordle lands with puzzle #790, and a familiar-looking quartet has a few quiet traps. Welcome in, and take each clue at your own pace.
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 3 (Bottom-Left): TENSE
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): PROOF
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
ANNOY: ANNOY is a verb meaning to irritate someone. In everyday speech, a persistent noise or interruption can annoy you even when each instance is small.
BOARD: BOARD is a noun for a flat, firm panel. You might write on one, pin notices to one, or use one to play a game.
TENSE: TENSE is an adjective meaning strained or unable to relax. It works for a person's mood as well as the atmosphere in a room.
PROOF: PROOF is a noun meaning evidence that establishes a claim. In everyday use, asking for proof means asking for something you can check.
The Difficulty Rating
I rate this quartet 3 out of 5. PROOF is the hardest because its adjacent repeated vowel can remain hidden after a useful first hit.
BOARD is the easiest: its five distinct letters give each confirmed hit a clear place to work from.
ANNOY also has adjacent repeated letters, while TENSE repeats a vowel in separated positions. A single confirmed copy does not settle either word's full spelling.
Strategic Insights
Open with guesses that cover distinct vowels and consonants across all four grids, then use the shared hits to narrow several answers before spending a guess on one.
A, O, N, and R each appear in more than one answer, but repeated letters need separate attention: ANNOY doubles N, TENSE doubles E, and PROOF doubles O. BOARD has no repeated letter.
