Understanding Quordle

Quordle can be found here on the Merriam-Webster platform, where a fresh puzzle is unveiled every day.

This game presents a twist on the popular daily Wordle by requiring players to solve four Wordle challenges at once. Each guess impacts all four puzzles, thereby enhancing the level of difficulty. Quordle allows for nine attempts (or 12 in “Chill” mode and eight in “Extreme” mode), unlike Wordle’s six guesses.

Your journey begins with a five-letter word guess. The letters will be indicated in green if they are correct, yellow if they belong to the word but are in the wrong position, and gray if they are not present at all.

Prepared for some clues? Let’s dive in!

Tactics for Solving Today’s Quordle

Starting with SLATE as the first guess is a solid move. Next, attempting BRUTE for the bottom left quadrant yielded some results, but one letter was off. Trying TRITE brought additional clues but still didn’t fit perfectly. Eventually, WRITE proved to be the correct word.

Next up, exploring LEMON for the bottom right quadrant helped confirm the upper right’s answer—success!

To solve the bottom right, I tested OGLED; while it didn’t fully work out, the position of E was promising, and it revealed that the word concluded with L. A guess of YOKEL didn’t pan out, but with only two attempts left, HOVEL was on the list—nailed it!

Finally, with almost all letters available, DERBY was the only option left. Victory!

Optimal Starting Words for Quordle

What could be the ideal first guess? It’s beneficial to draw insights from Wordle for guidance.

Starting words rich in common letters can increase the chance of revealing yellow and green tiles, facilitating subsequent guesses. While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all best starter, recommendations include:

• CRANE

• TRACE

• SLANT

• CRATE

• CARTE

Moreover, research from MIT suggests that the optimal initial guess reduces possibilities effectively—top choices in this regard comprise:

• SALET

• REAST

• TRACE

• CRATE

• SLATE

Additional solid picks could also be ARISE or ROUND. While words like ADIEU and AUDIO incorporate more vowels, a consonant-focused starting word such as RENTS or CLAMP may yield better early information. Select a strategy and observe the outcomes.
