How I Rolled It (My Pro Moves)

I kicked things off by guessing broad vowels and consonants—words like “CRANE,” “TRAIL,” etc. Once yellow hits popped, I shifted to strategy mode:

• In classic, A–Y–H–E endings gave Word 4 away fast.
  
• Chill hints let me zone in on Q for Quite.
  
• Once I saw unique consonants and one‑vowel entries in Extreme, I leaned toward G‑words and unusual combos like OUTRE.
  
• Sequence mode forced solving one word at a time, so I focused hard on WREST for word 1, then dissected letter options cleanly afterward.
  

Quick Hack Summary: TL;DR

Final Thoughts

Quordle gets spicy by mixing common with quirky, especially in Extreme. My pro tip? Use pure vowel/consonant frontier guesses early—then zone in once you lock patterns. Classic and Chill favored themed everyday words. Sequence mode punishes scatter guesses—focus on one row at a time.

Tomorrow? Could be a killer like “XEROX” or “ZYTHOS.” Bring coffee, keep your word‑group flexible, and game on.
