Today's Extreme Quordle lands with puzzle #746, and a clean-looking quartet grows demanding once its overlapping clues begin competing for attention. Welcome, settle in, and work each corner deliberately.
The Basics (For New Players)
Quordle gives you 8 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 tighter daily format with more unusual words. The goal stays the same: solve all four quadrants before the guesses run out.

Word 1 (Top-Left): MINUS
Word 2 (Top-Right): OTTER
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): EXACT
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): UNTIE
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
MINUS: MINUS commonly works as a preposition meaning with a quantity subtracted, though it can also function as a noun or adjective. In everyday use, it neatly distinguishes a starting amount from a deduction, as in a price minus a discount.
OTTER: OTTER is a noun for a semiaquatic, fish-eating mammal with dense fur and a streamlined body. Everyday references often distinguish river otters from sea otters by habitat.
EXACT: EXACT is an adjective meaning fully accurate or matching a requirement without deviation. It is especially useful when specifying an address, measurement, total, or set of instructions.
UNTIE: UNTIE is a verb meaning to loosen or release something by undoing a knot or fastening. It appears naturally with shoelaces, ropes, ribbons, and figurative complications.
The Difficulty Rating
This quartet earns 4 out of 5 for difficulty. EXACT is the hardest because its unusual X can resist ordinary coverage, while the familiar animal noun OTTER is the easiest to recognize once its shape emerges.
OTTER conceals a doubled T, while MINUS, EXACT, and UNTIE use five distinct letters apiece. UNTIE also packs three vowels into the board, which can produce several plausible partial patterns before the consonants settle.
Strategic Insights
Use opening guesses that cover all five vowels alongside high-value consonants such as N, R, S, and T, then test X only when the bottom-left evidence points toward it. That approach gathers broad information before spending a guess on the quartet's less routine character.
OTTER is the only answer with an internal repeat, doubling T in its second and third positions. Across the quartet, E and T each appear in three answers, while I, N, and U connect MINUS with UNTIE.
