After each guess, tiles change color: green means right letter, right spot; yellow signals right letter, wrong position; gray indicates the letter isn't in that particular word. One puzzle per day, shared by word game enthusiasts worldwide.
Created as a Wordle variant and now hosted by Merriam-Webster, Quordle has become the ultimate test for word puzzle veterans who want more challenge. Today's puzzle # awaits with four words to conquer.

Word DNA
CLIFF, Noun. A steep rock face, especially at the edge of the sea. From Old English clif, meaning "rock, steep slope."
EXPEL, Verb. To force someone to leave a place, organization, or school. From Latin expellere, meaning "to drive out."
PRIZE, Noun. Something awarded for victory or superiority in a contest or competition. From Old French pris, meaning "price, value, reward."
FROCK, Noun. A woman's or girl's dress, or a loose outer garment. From Old French froc, meaning "monk's habit."
Difficulty Rating
Overall Difficulty: 3 / 5
Hardest Word: FROCK - less common clothing term
Easiest Word: PRIZE - common reward word with clear pattern
Trap Factor: MEDIUM. CLIFF's double F and EXPEL's X can be tricky placements.
This puzzle presents moderate challenge with CLIFF's double F ending and EXPEL's X placement. PRIZE's Z is distinctive but common. FROCK might trip players unfamiliar with traditional garment terms. The mix of nouns and one verb requires flexible thinking.
