Quordle Hints & Answers Today November 8, 2026 - Quordle Solver & Help

What Is Quordle?

Quordle is a daily word game that asks you to solve four five-letter words at once. It works like Wordle, but instead of one grid you face four, and every guess you type is played across all four grids at the same time. You get nine guesses in the standard Daily game, so the challenge is to spend each guess wisely and read the colour clues on all four boards before you commit to the next word.

The colour key is the same as Wordle: a green tile means the letter is correct and in the right place, a yellow tile means the letter is in that word but in a different spot, and a grey tile means the letter is not in that grid's word at all. Because the colours are grid-specific, the same letter can be green on one board and grey on another, which is what makes Quordle harder than a single Wordle.

Quordle was created by Freddie Meyer, with David Mah engineering the original, and launched in early 2022. It is now owned and hosted by Merriam-Webster at merriam-webster.com/games/quordle, after starting out at quordle.com, with a new puzzle and puzzle number released every day.

How to Play Quordle

The aim of the Daily Quordle is to solve four different five-letter words in nine guesses. Each word you enter is applied to all four grids, so a single guess can light up clues on every board.

1. Type any valid five-letter word as your first guess. It appears on all four grids at once.
2. Read the colours on each grid: green for the right letter in the right place, yellow for a right letter in the wrong place, grey for a letter not in that word.
3. Check the four grids and decide which board has the most useful clues to chase next.
4. The on-screen keyboard shows colour clues too, with each key quartered so it can show the status of that letter on all four boards at once.
5. Plan each new guess to make progress on the grids that still have the fewest clues, not just the ones that are nearly done.
6. Once a grid is solved it locks with all green letters, and you keep going until all four are complete or your nine guesses run out.

Remember that colours are specific to each grid, so a letter can be green on one board and grey on another. Reading all four grids before every guess is the core skill of the game.

Quordle Game Modes

Quordle has five free daily modes, each with its own four words, and all of them reset at midnight local time. Our hints and answers above cover every daily mode.

The original game: four words, nine guesses, every guess played on all four grids at once.

Chill

The relaxed option, with twelve guesses to solve the four words.

Extreme

The tough one: harder words and only eight guesses.

Rescue

The game fills in your first two guesses for you, and you have seven guesses left to solve all four words.

Sequence

You solve the four grids one at a time, and the next grid unlocks once you finish the current one. You get ten guesses.

Weekly Challenge and Practice

Quordle also has a Weekly Challenge and an unlimited Practice mode. They aren't daily puzzles, so they aren't covered here.

Quordle Tips and Strategy

Want to clear all four grids more often? These tips help you get more out of every guess.

Open with letter-rich words

With four words to solve, common vowels and consonants are almost certain to appear somewhere. Strong openers such as ROATE, CLINT, and DUMPS cover a lot of useful letters across all four grids before you commit to a real answer.

Focus on one grid at a time

Once your opening words are out, pick the grid with the most green and yellow letters and finish it. Solving one board usually shares letters that unlock the others, so chase the closest grid rather than spreading thin.

Read the quartered keyboard

Quordle splits each keyboard letter into four quarters, one per grid, so a single key can show that a letter is green on one board and grey on another. Glance at the keyboard before every guess to combine the clues from all four boards.

Save double letters for later

Double letters are possible in Quordle, but spending early guesses on them wastes information. Spread new letters across the boards first, and bring in repeats once a grid is nearly solved.
