Today's Chill Quordle lands with puzzle #817, and the set feels familiar but has enough lookalike shapes to reward a careful check. Welcome back, and keep each board's clues in view as you work.
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): SWOOP
Word 2 (Top-Right): TIMER
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): EVICT
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): SWEEP
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
SWOOP: SWOOP is a verb meaning to descend suddenly and swiftly through the air. In everyday figurative use, someone can swoop in to grab an opportunity or take charge.
TIMER: TIMER is a noun for a device that measures an interval or signals when it has elapsed. In cooking instructions, setting a timer means arranging an alert for when to check the food.
EVICT: EVICT is a verb meaning to force someone to leave a property they occupy. It carries a stronger sense of compulsion than simply asking someone to move out.
SWEEP: SWEEP is a verb meaning to clear a surface with a broom or brush. Everyday instructions often pair it with up when referring to gathering crumbs or other loose debris.
The Difficulty Rating
I'd rate this quartet 2 out of 5 for difficulty, with EVICT the hardest and TIMER the easiest. EVICT's V and final CT combination require deliberate coverage, while TIMER has a familiar shape with no duplicated letters.
SWOOP and SWEEP create the main spelling trap because their matching outer letters invite a premature guess. Confirm the doubled O or E on each board before committing.
Strategic Insights
Favor distinct-letter guesses early to test E, I, T, R and S, then use the feedback to target W, P, V or C. That coverage gives you routes into both TIMER and EVICT while gathering clues for SWOOP and SWEEP.
SWOOP and SWEEP share S, W and P in matching positions, with doubled O and doubled E in positions 3 and 4. TIMER and EVICT share E, I and T, so carry those discoveries across the boards while checking their locations separately.
