Today's Chill Quordle lands with puzzle #808, and everyday language meets a few stubborn spelling choices. Welcome back, settle in and use the hints below whenever a board needs a nudge.
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): WROTE
Word 2 (Top-Right): GLOSS
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): VOCAL
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): GLAZE
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
WROTE: WROTE is the simple past tense of write, meaning put words into written form or composed a text. Use it for a completed action, as in “she wrote a note,” while “has written” calls for the past participle.
GLOSS: GLOSS is a noun meaning a smooth shine or sheen on a surface. In paint descriptions, it identifies a shiny finish, helping distinguish it from a matte finish.
VOCAL: VOCAL is an adjective meaning related to the voice or openly expressive about an opinion. Calling someone a vocal critic emphasizes that they speak out, rather than simply disagreeing privately.
GLAZE: GLAZE is a noun for a thin surface coating and a verb meaning to apply that coating. In cooking, a sugar glaze can give a pastry a shiny, sweet finish.
The Difficulty Rating
I'd rate this quartet 2 out of 5 for difficulty, with WROTE the easiest answer and GLAZE the hardest. WROTE offers a familiar verb form, while the Z in GLAZE demands a more targeted guess.
GLOSS supplies the clearest spelling trap: its double S is easy to overlook when you're still testing distinct letters. VOCAL also rewards deliberate attention to V, while WROTE requires recognizing an irregular past tense.
Strategic Insights
Use your early guesses to cover A, E and O alongside L, G, R, S and T, giving you useful reach across this quartet. Once those clues narrow the boards, test W, V or Z where the remaining pattern supports them.
GLOSS is the only answer with a repeated letter, using S twice. GLOSS and GLAZE share the opening GL, and L also appears in VOCAL, so check each board's placement clues before choosing between those shared letters.
