Today's Quordle drops today's puzzle, and this Sunday challenge stays friendly: four common five-letter words, two of them packing doubled vowels that can hand you quick greens or quietly stall your momentum. With nine guesses to solve all four simultaneously, we've got the hints to guide you to a clean sweep.
The Basics (For New Players)
Quordle gives you nine attempts to crack four five-letter words at once. Each guess applies to all four grids simultaneously. 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
BOOTH, Noun. A small enclosed compartment or stall for a single occupant or purpose, from voting to phone calls. The word traces back to Middle English and Old Danish bóth, meaning a temporary dwelling or shelter.
EASEL, Noun. A freestanding frame used to support an artist's canvas or board. It derives from the Dutch ezel and German Esel, both meaning "donkey," because the frame carries a load the way a pack animal does.
REACH, Verb. To extend an arm to touch something, or to arrive at a destination or goal. It comes from Old English rǣcan, "to stretch out or extend," and has carried its sense of attainment through centuries of use.
MAKER, Noun. A person or thing that builds, produces, or creates something. Formed from the verb "make" plus the agent suffix -er, it's one of English's most straightforward and durable agent nouns.
Difficulty Rating
Overall Difficulty: 2 / 5
Hardest Word: EASEL, the doubled E and the uncommon E-L ending can stall solvers who lock onto more familiar vowel patterns.
Easiest Word: MAKER, the classic consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant shape with the -ER suffix practically solves itself.
Trap Factor: LOW. Four common words, no obscure vocabulary, and plenty of shared vowels across the set.
This is a generous Sunday set. The doubled vowels in BOOTH and EASEL are the only real speed bumps, but both are conventional and easy to spot once a couple of letters lock in. REACH and MAKER are near-automatic for anyone with a solid word-game vocabulary. Expect a clean sweep with guesses to spare.
