Today's Quordle drops today's puzzle, and this Wednesday challenge presents a mix of botanical, Greek, anatomical, and legal terminology.
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.
Created as a Wordle variant and now hosted by Merriam-Webster, Quordle has become the ultimate test for word puzzle veterans.
One puzzle per day, shared by word game enthusiasts worldwide.

Word 1 (Top-Left): WEEDY
Word 2 (Top-Right): OMEGA
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): CLEFT
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): GAVEL
Word DNA
WEEDY, Adjective. Describing something thin, weak, or overgrown with weeds. From Old English "wēod" (weed) + -y suffix.
OMEGA, Noun. The 24th and final letter of the Greek alphabet (Ω, ω). From Greek "ō mega" meaning "great O," distinguishing it from omicron ("small O").
CLEFT, Noun. A split or indentation, especially one occurring naturally. From Old English "clyft" related to "cleave."
GAVEL, Noun. A small ceremonial mallet used by judges, auctioneers, or chairs to call for attention or signal decisions. Origin uncertain, possibly from Old Norse "gǫfl."
Difficulty Rating
Overall Difficulty: 3 / 5
Hardest Word: WEEDY - uncommon adjective that might not come to mind immediately
Easiest Word: OMEGA - familiar Greek letter with distinct vowel pattern
Trap Factor: MEDIUM. The vowel patterns vary significantly, and WEEDY's double-E could mislead players expecting more common words.
Today's quartet presents moderate challenge with diverse vocabulary domains.
WEEDY might stall players expecting more common adjectives, while CLEFT and GAVEL are specific but recognizable terms. The lack of shared letters across words forces broad coverage in opening guesses.
