Understanding Quordle

Quordle can be played here on the Merriam-Webster platform. A new challenge is available each day.

For those unfamiliar, Quordle offers a unique twist on the popular Wordle format from the New York Times. Instead of tackling a single five-letter word, players solve four Wordle puzzles simultaneously, using each guess across all four grids. This added complexity means you have nine attempts to find the correct words, or twelve on the “Chill” mode, and eight in “Extreme” mode—quite a contrast to Wordle’s six tries.

Your journey begins by guessing a five-letter term. The letters in each of the four sections will turn green if they’re correctly placed, yellow if they’re the right letters but in the wrong spots, or gray if they’re not part of any target word.

My Approach to Today’s Quordle

Starting with the word SLATE, good progress was achieved, particularly in the bottom left quadrant. The word SMITE came to mind but was close. A guess of SPITE confirmed the answer.

For the lower left, PACED was a thought but didn’t fit.

A similar pattern emerged for the upper right where FLUFF popped up but seemed off. Attempting CAPER for the lower right yielded some letters, leading to the conclusion that CHEAP was indeed correct.

With two terms identified, the task was to figure out what starts with FLU. The guess FLUKE seemed possible but wasn’t right. Opting for FLUNK paid off eventually, confirming the guess.

The Optimal Starter Words for Quordle

Wondering what to select as your initial guess? Insights from Wordle can provide useful guidance.

The most effective starter words tend to include frequently used letters, maximising the chance of obtaining yellow or green indicators to assist in your guesses. While there isn’t an universally regarded “best” word, analyses suggest beginning with one of the following:

• CRANE

• TRACE

• SLANT

• CRATE

• CARTE

In addition, a study from MIT found that using options like:

• SALET

• REAST

• TRACE

• CRATE

• SLATE

Increases the elimination of possibilities right from your opening move. Other suitable choices may include ARISE or ROUND. Alternatively, words like ADIEU or AUDIO engage a higher vowel count, but starting with consonants using a word like RENTS or CLAMP can also be beneficial. Experiment with different strategies and note your results.
