Shell Chords

Shell chords are simple chords with two or three notes.

Shell chords with two notes are chords based on the root and the third, or the root and the seventh. These are harmonies that a piano player might play with the left hand. They are not used in the Chordle game.

Shell chords with three notes are seventh chords, without the fifth. They contain the root, the third and the seventh.

The Chordle game uses the following shell chords.

Chord	Notes	Notes in C
Dominant Seventh (shell chord)	root major third minor seventh
Minor Seventh (shell chord)	root minor third minor seventh
Major Seventh (shell chord)	root major third major seventh
