Welp, you made it to yet another Friday only to find that today's Quordleis a doozy. How are you supposed to kick off your weekend if you can't even comfortably wrap up this word puzzle?
You can breathe easy, though, because all four answers are down there at the end of this article. But do you need them, really? Or can you just read our tips and tricks, and get inspired to finish it on your own? Hey, don't think too hard about this. It's Friday, and you're supposed to be goofing off, not working.
Quordleis a five-letter word guessing game similar to Wordle, except each guess applies letters to four words at the same time. You get nine guesses instead of six to correctly guess all four words. It looks like playing four Wordlegames at the same time, and that is essentially what it is. But it's not nearly as intimidating as it sounds.
Yes, though not diabolically so.
Amid the Wordleboom of late 2021 and early 2022, when everyone was learning to love free, in-browser, once-a-day word guessing games, creator Freddie Meyer says he took inspiration from one of the first big Wordlevariations, Dordle— the one where you essentially play two Wordlesat once. He took things up a notch, and released Quordle on January 30. Meyer's creation was covered in The Guardiansix days later, and now, according to Meyer, it attracts millions of daily users. Today, Meyer earns modest revenue from Patreon, where dedicated Quordlefans can donate to keep their favorite puzzle game running.
“Kwordle.” It should rhyme with “Wordle,” and definitely should not be pronounced exactly like "curdle.”
Yes and no.
Your starting strategy should be the same as with Wordle. In fact, if you have a favorite Wordleopening 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 Quordleexactly like Wordle.
Solving a Wordlepuzzle 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 Wordleand 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.
In my experience Quordlecan be a slow game, sometimes dragging out longer than it would take to play Wordlefour times. But a sort of blunt-force guessing approach can speed things up. The following strategy also works with Wordleif 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.
If strategy isn't helping, and you're still stumped, here are some hints:
Synonyms for all four words are in the following sentence (in no particular order).

S, F, K, and C.
