Looking for hints or the complete solution to Quordle? You’ve come to the right place. Scroll down to find everything you need, including a strategy guide. Unsure if you need all four answers? We’ve got you covered.
What is Quordle?
Quordle is a fun and challenging word-guessing game that adds a unique twist to the popular game Wordle. Unlike Wordle, each guess in Quordle applies letters to four different words at the same time. With nine guesses to correctly guess all four words, Quordle may seem like playing four Wordle games at once, but it’s not as daunting as it sounds. Give it a try and see if you can master this exciting new game!
Is Quordle harder than Wordle?
Yes, though not diabolically so.
Where did Quordle come from?
Amid the popularity of free, once-a-day word guessing games like Wordle, Quordle was born. Created by Freddie Meyer in January 2022, Quordle is a five-letter word guessing game where players must guess four words at once using nine guesses. Meyer was inspired by the Wordle variation Dordle and took things up a notch. Quordle gained attention from The Guardian and now has millions of daily users. Meyer earns revenue from Patreon to keep the game running.
How is Quordle pronounced?
“Kwordle.” It should rhyme with “Wordle,” and definitely should not be pronounced exactly like “curdle.”
Is Quordle strategy different from Wordle?
Yes and no.
Your starting strategy should be the same as with Wordle. In fact, if you have a favorite Wordle opening word, there’s no reason to change that here. We suggest something rich in vowels, featuring common letters like C, R, and N. But you do you.
After your first guess, however, you’ll notice things getting out of control if you play Quordle exactly like Wordle.
What should I do in Quordle that I don’t do in Wordle?
Solving a Wordle puzzle can famously come down to a series of single letter-change variations. If you’ve narrowed it down to “-IGHT,” you could guess “MIGHT” “NIGHT” “LIGHT” and “SIGHT” and one of those will probably be the solution — though this is also a famous way to end up losing in Wordle, particularly if you play on “hard mode.” In Quordle, however, this sort of single-letter winnowing is a deadly trap, and it hints at the important strategic difference between Wordle and Quordle: In Quordle, you can’t afford to waste guesses unless you’re eliminating as many letters as possible at all times.
Guessing a completely random word that you already know isn’t the solution, just to eliminate three or four possible letters you haven’t tried yet, is thought of as a desperate, latch-ditch move in Wordle. In Quordle, however, it’s a normal part of the player’s strategic toolset.
Is there a way to get the answer faster?
In my experience Quordle can be a slow game, sometimes dragging out longer than it would take to play Wordle four times. But a sort of blunt-force guessing approach can speed things up. The following strategy also works with Wordle if you only want the solution, and don’t care about having the fewest possible guesses:
Try starting with a series of words that puts all the vowels (including Y) on the board, along with some other common letters. We’ve had good luck with the three words: “NOTES,” “ACRID,” and “LUMPY.” YouTuber DougMansLand suggests four words: “CANOE,” “SKIRT,” “PLUMB,” and “FUDGY.”
Most of the alphabet is now eliminated, and you’ll only have the ability to make one or two wrong guesses if you use this strategy. But in most cases you’ll have all the information you need to guess the remaining words without any wrong guesses.
