Today's Extreme Quordle lands with puzzle #795, and the quartet mixes everyday familiarity with a more literary touch. Welcome back, puzzle solvers, there's enough variety here to reward careful narrowing.
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 4 (Bottom-Right): SHIFT
Word DNA (Breaking Down Today's Answers)
MIRTH: MIRTH is a noun meaning amusement or happiness, especially expressed in laughter. It has a literary flavor, so you'll encounter it more naturally in descriptive writing than in casual conversation.
GAUNT: GAUNT is an adjective meaning very thin, often with a drawn or haggard appearance. Describing someone as gaunt suggests a worn look beyond simply being slim.
BUNNY: BUNNY is an informal noun meaning rabbit. Its affectionate tone fits children's stories and conversations about pets.
SHIFT: SHIFT is a verb meaning to move or change position, and a noun meaning a change or a scheduled period of work. Context distinguishes moving a chair from working the night shift.
The Difficulty Rating
I'd rate this quartet 4 out of 5 with eight guesses available. MIRTH is the hardest vocabulary pull because of its literary register, while SHIFT is the easiest entry thanks to its straightforward everyday uses.
BUNNY's doubled N is the clearest spelling trap, while GAUNT requires placing A and U together. MIRTH and SHIFT each pack four consonants around a single I, making consonant coverage especially valuable.
Strategic Insights
Use early guesses to cover A, I, and U alongside T, N, and H, then target the remaining consonants as the boards narrow. Those vowels cover the quartet's entire A-E-I-O-U inventory, so prioritize consonant information once their locations become clear.
MIRTH and SHIFT share I, H, and T, while GAUNT and BUNNY share U and N. BUNNY is the only answer with a repeated letter, with N appearing twice.
