How Quordle works
Quordle is a bigger sibling of Wordle: instead of one word you guess 4 five-letter words simultaneously, each on its own grid, sharing the same 9 guesses. Every letter you type lands on all 4 boards at once — green for a correct letter in the right spot, yellow for a right letter in the wrong spot — so a single strong guess gives you information on every board. It runs several modes:
| Mode | What's different |
|---|---|
| Classic | The standard daily game — four boards, nine guesses, letter feedback after each guess. |
| Chill | Same as Classic but more forgiving, aimed at a relaxed daily solve. |
| Extreme | No letter feedback carries over the way you'd like — a harder ruleset for veterans. |
| Sequence | You solve the four words one after another rather than all at once. |
| Rescue | You start mid-puzzle with computer-made guesses already on the board and finish it. |
| Weekly Challenge | A tougher set that stays fixed for the whole week rather than changing daily. |
Mode-by-mode strategy
- Open with two words that together cover most vowels and common consonants — a pairing like SLATE then CRONY exposes ten different letters across your first two guesses, which matters far more with four boards than with one.
- Solve the easiest board first, then reuse its confirmed letters — a green letter on one board is a free clue for the other three.
- Watch the letter-pattern clues at the top of each mode (“two words begin with B,” “no A's”): they eliminate whole families of guesses before you type.
- Don't tunnel on one stubborn board — spend guesses that give information across all four rather than brute-forcing a single word.
- In Sequence mode, the first word is the only one you can attack directly, so lead with a high-coverage starter and let its greens seed the next.
What is Quordle?
Quordle is published by Merriam-Webster — yes, the dictionary — which took over the game and folded it into its daily puzzle lineup alongside its sister game Octordle. (Wordle itself is the New York Times original that inspired the whole genre.) It's free to play in any browser at Merriam-Webster Quordle, resets once a day, and has built a loyal following among players who find a single Wordle board too quick. This page publishes each day's letter clues, per-word hints, and full answers across every mode as soon as the puzzle goes live, so you can get exactly as much help as you want.
