Today's Extreme Quordle lands with puzzle #789, and the quartet mixes familiar actions with a test of precise vocabulary. Welcome back, and take the four boards one clue at a time.
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): SHOUT
Word 2 (Top-Right): SKIMP
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): VALOR
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): SNUCK
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
SHOUT: SHOUT is a verb meaning to speak very loudly. In everyday use, you might shout to be heard over traffic or to warn someone of danger.
SKIMP: SKIMP is a verb meaning to use or provide too little of something. It commonly appears with “on,” as when someone skimps on ingredients or preparation.
VALOR: VALOR is a noun meaning courage in the face of danger, especially in battle. It often appears when describing an act of bravery.
SNUCK: SNUCK is a past-tense form of the verb “sneak,” meaning to move secretly or quietly. It fits an everyday sentence about someone who snuck into a room unnoticed.
The Difficulty Rating
I rate this quartet 4 out of 5. SKIMP is the hardest answer because its single vowel leaves four consonants to pin down.
SHOUT is the easiest to recognize once its two adjacent vowels appear. SNUCK adds a past-tense vocabulary trap, while VALOR requires the American spelling.
Strategic Insights
Early guesses that cover several different vowels and consonants serve this board well: two answers have two vowels, while the other two have only one. Use those results to narrow each board before committing to a solution.
No answer repeats a letter within itself, but SHOUT, SKIMP, and SNUCK all begin with S. SKIMP and SNUCK also share K in different positions, so keep those boards separate as their patterns develop.
