Quordle players looking for help with today’s puzzle can use the clues below before revealing the four five-letter answers. The August 26 puzzle brings together words linked to a drug derived from a flowering plant, a long period of time, an attack from all sides, and something that is thinner, narrower, or of higher quality.
Unlike traditional word games, Quordle requires players to solve four words simultaneously. Each guess is applied to all four grids, making it useful to identify common letters and positions across the puzzles.
Players who are stuck can use these clues without immediately giving away the answers.
Word 1 (Top Left): A drug derived from a flowering plant.
Word 2 (Top Right): A long period of time.
Word 3 (Bottom Left): To attack from all sides.
Word 4 (Bottom Right): Thinner and narrower, or of higher quality.
There is another clue for players who need an additional push: one of today’s words contains a pair of repeated letters.
The four answers begin with O, E, B and F, respectively.
The starting letters should help narrow down the possibilities. Look for an O word referring to a drug derived from a flowering plant, an E word meaning a long period, a B word describing an attack from all sides, and an F word meaning thinner, narrower, or of higher quality.
