Quordle: The Ultimate Quick‑Play Word Puzzle
If you love Wordle but want more firepower, you’ve probably seen Quordle popping up on social feeds. It’s basically four Wordle boards at once, and you get six guesses to solve them all. Sounds wild, right? The good news is the rules stay the same – guess a five‑letter word, get green, yellow and grey feedback – you just have to juggle four boards.
How to Start a Game
When you open Quordle, you’ll see four small squares, each representing a separate secret word. Your first guess counts for all four boards, so pick a common five‑letter starter like “ARISE” or “SLATE”. Those words hit a lot of frequent letters and give you useful clues across the board. After each guess, the colour feedback appears on every grid, letting you see which letters are correct, misplaced or not in any word.
Winning Strategies
1. Use a balanced starter. Choose a word with three vowels and two common consonants. This maximises the chance you’ll hit at least one correct letter on each board.
2. Track each board separately. Write down the known letters for each grid – a quick note on paper or a phone note helps you avoid mixing clues.
3. Prioritise the hardest board. If one grid is already almost solved, focus on the toughest one with your next guess. That way you keep pressure on the most difficult word.
4. Don’t repeat letters needlessly. If “E” is grey on every board, ditch it from future guesses. Re‑using letters wastes a turn.
5. Leverage common endings. Words often end in “-ING”, “-ED” or “-ER”. If you’ve identified an “E” and a “R” early, try “RERUN” or “CRANE” to test those patterns.
Remember, you only have six tries for all four words, so each guess needs to count. If you’re stuck after three rounds, consider a word that hits the most unknown letters across the boards at once.
Another tip: watch the daily leaderboard. Seeing what high‑scoring players guessed gives you a feel for effective word choices. Many seasoned players share their first‑guess lists on forums – you can borrow those.
Quordle also offers a “hard mode” where you must use all revealed letters in subsequent guesses. Hard mode forces you to think more strategically and can improve your overall Wordle skills.
Finally, keep it fun. The game is designed to be a quick mental workout, not a marathon. If you’re losing a round, take a short break, then come back with fresh eyes. Often a new perspective uncovers the missing letters.
Whether you’re playing on your morning commute or winding down after work, Quordle delivers a satisfying challenge that sharpens your vocabulary and pattern‑recognition abilities. Try a few rounds, experiment with different starters, and you’ll be crushing those four grids in no time.
