Quordle
Quordle works like Wordle, but every guess goes on four boards at the same time. You have nine guesses to find all four words.
Quordle at Merriam-Webster
Quordle was created by Freddie Meyer and is now run by Merriam-Webster. It is not a New York Times game, though people often search for it that way. You solve four five letter words at once in nine guesses.
The modes
| Mode | What changes |
|---|---|
| Classic | Four boards, nine guesses |
| Sequence | Boards open one after another |
| Rescue | A new starting position to save |
| Chill | A more relaxed take |
| Extreme | A harder take |
| Practice | New boards any time |
A simple plan for nine guesses
- Two starter words with ten different letters, like CRANE and MOIST, give a strong start on all four boards.
- From guess three, try to solve a board with every guess while still picking up letters for the others.
- If two boards are stuck on the same pattern, like _OUND, choose a word that tests several missing letters at once.
Hints for today
Before looking up a hint, write the known letters of each board on paper. Seeing all four patterns side by side often shows a word you missed.
Before you start Quordle
- Use your first two or three guesses only to test letters. Ten different common letters tell you a lot about all four boards.
- Solve the board with the most green first. Each solved word gives you hints for the others for free.
- Watch the keyboard. It splits into four corners that show how each letter did on each board.
- In Daily Sequence the next board only opens when you solve the one before, so think about order before you guess.
- Solve the board with the most greens first. Each finished board frees the next guess for the others.
Playing Quordle step by step
- Guess once, play four boards
Each five letter word you type is checked against all four hidden words.

- Finish in nine
Solve all four words within nine guesses to win the day.
