Today's Extreme Quordle lands with puzzle #787, and the four corners mix familiar ideas with two spelling traps. Welcome in, and take each hint at your own pace.
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): BLUNT
Word 2 (Top-Right): MORAL
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): FORGO
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): HOBBY
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
BLUNT: BLUNT is an adjective meaning direct to the point of seeming tactless. In everyday speech, a blunt reply can be honest and still sting.
MORAL: MORAL is an adjective concerning right and wrong. It commonly describes a decision or duty that calls for an ethical judgment.
FORGO: FORGO is a verb meaning to do without something by choice. You can forgo dessert, for example, while still wanting it.
HOBBY: HOBBY is a noun for an activity pursued for pleasure in spare time. People use it for interests they return to regularly, such as gardening or painting.
The Difficulty Rating
I rate this quartet 4 out of 5. FORGO is the hardest: its repeated vowel is easy to overlook, and the verb is less likely to come to mind than the other three answers.
MORAL is the easiest, with five distinct letters and a familiar meaning. HOBBY brings the other clear trap, a doubled consonant that a single matching tile can conceal.
Strategic Insights
Start with guesses that test several distinct vowels and consonants across the board. With eight guesses for four answers, early coverage helps you decide which corner needs a targeted guess.
The O in MORAL, FORGO, and HOBBY offers a shared lead, and it sits in position 2 in all three answers. Account for two Os in FORGO and two Bs in HOBBY before committing to either corner.
