Quordle appears to have had one of its periodic leveling up transformations, with the main game now split into three: Daily Chill, Daily Classic and Daily Extreme. These give different numbers of guesses and a variable level of difficulty, as you'd expect – and I can confirm that Extreme is very tough indeed.

For now I'm going to continue to focus on the Classic variety, which today was relatively tricky with a repeated T in THETA and a couple of fairly uncommon words.
