Today's Chill Quordle lands with puzzle #821, and familiar vocabulary comes with a few spelling snags to keep you alert. Welcome back, and take the hints 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 4 (Bottom-Right): FEAST
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
STOOD: STOOD is the past tense and past participle of stand, meaning to have been upright on your feet. In everyday use, “stood by a friend” extends that physical meaning into offering support.
BIBLE: BIBLE is a noun referring to the Christian scriptures. It is capitalized when naming the sacred text, while the lowercase form can describe a trusted reference, such as a gardener's bible.
AWOKE: AWOKE is the simple past tense of awake, meaning to stop sleeping. It fits naturally in a sentence such as “She awoke before dawn,” though “woke up” is a more conversational alternative.
FEAST: FEAST is a noun meaning a large, celebratory meal and a verb meaning to eat plentifully with enjoyment. The expression “a feast for the eyes” applies the same sense of abundance to something visually delightful.
The Difficulty Rating
I'd rate this quartet 2 out of 5 for difficulty, with BIBLE the hardest answer and FEAST the easiest. BIBLE's separated Bs invite an overlooked repeat, while FEAST offers familiar vocabulary with no duplicate letters.
STOOD adds a double O and an irregular past-tense spelling, so it rewards keeping duplicate letters in contention. AWOKE presents a different hurdle: its W and K need attention even once its vowels are established.
Strategic Insights
Prioritize A, E, O, S, and T in your early coverage, since they recur across this quartet. Then use each board's feedback to target distinctive letters such as B, W, and K.
STOOD repeats O and BIBLE repeats B, while AWOKE and FEAST have no repeated letters. E connects BIBLE, AWOKE, and FEAST, so carry that confirmed letter across the boards without assuming it occupies the same place.
