This is in the spirit of the What is a Word™/Phrase™ series started by JLee with a special brand of Phrase™ and Word™ puzzles.
It seems that it's a rite of passage on PSE to make at least one of these, so if a word conforms to a special rule, I call it a Quotidian Word™.
Use the examples below to find the rule. The order of clues doesn't matter, and the pairings of Quotidian Words™ and Not Quotidian Words™ don't convey any additional information.
| Quotidian Words™ | Not Quotidian Words™ |
|---|---|

| ding | beep |
| end | finish |

| goose | moose |
| in | inside |
| ire | rage |
| key | nail |
| lock | hammer |
| rise | risen |
| screen | scan |
| stroke | touch |
| sky | sea |
