Today's Chill Quordle lands with puzzle #797, and the quartet feels familiar but gives you a few spelling wrinkles to untangle. Welcome back, and choose how much help you want before stepping through the hints.
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 DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
WEAVE: WEAVE is a verb meaning to form fabric by interlacing threads. In everyday writing, you can also weave details into a story, bringing separate pieces into a connected whole.
SCRAP: SCRAP is a noun for a small leftover piece and a verb meaning to discard or abandon something. A scrap of paper is a physical remnant, while scrapping a plan means deciding against carrying it out.
GRACE: GRACE is a noun meaning elegance of movement or courteous kindness. Saying someone handled criticism with grace describes their composure and generosity toward others.
DECAY: DECAY is a noun for gradual deterioration and a verb meaning to rot or break down. Tooth decay is a familiar use of the noun, while fallen leaves decay describes the process.
The Difficulty Rating
I'd rate this quartet 2 out of 5 for difficulty. WEAVE is the hardest because its repeated E can resist a search focused on distinct letters, while GRACE is the easiest pick thanks to its familiar vocabulary and straightforward spelling.
SCRAP's opening SCR cluster rewards consonant coverage, and DECAY asks you to keep a final Y in play. The vocabulary is accessible; the main challenge is switching between those consonant patterns and WEAVE's repeated vowel.
Strategic Insights
Start with a guess that tests A and E alongside useful consonants such as C and R, then use fresh consonants to distinguish the boards. Once those shared letters emerge, testing W and V, S and P, G, or D and Y can sharpen the individual candidates.
A appears in all four answers, while C is shared by SCRAP, GRACE, and DECAY. WEAVE is the only answer with a repeated letter, using E twice; E also appears once in GRACE and DECAY.
