Quordle players looking for help with today’s puzzle can use a set of clues before revealing the four five-letter answers. The August 10 puzzle brings together words associated with a courtroom, romance, speed and the guiding beliefs of a person or institution.
Unlike traditional word games, Quordle requires players to solve four words simultaneously. Each guess is applied to all four grids, making it important to identify common letters, their positions and possible word patterns.
If you are stuck on today’s puzzle, the clues below can help without giving away the answers immediately.
Word 1 - Top Left: Think of an object a judge may use to call a courtroom to order.
Word 2 - Top Right: This word describes a romantic attraction or strong feeling toward someone.
Word 3 - Bottom Left: A familiar term calculated by dividing distance by time.
Word 4 - Bottom Right: This refers to the fundamental character, values, or guiding beliefs of a person or institution.
There is also a letter-based clue for players who need an additional push. One of today’s answers contains a pair of repeated letters.
The four answers begin with G, C, S, and E, respectively.
The starting letters should make the final guesses considerably easier. Look for a five-letter word beginning with G connected to courtrooms, a C word associated with romantic attraction, an S word describing distance traveled over time, and an E word linked to beliefs or character.
If you want to solve the puzzle yourself, this is the point to stop reading.
Spoiler alert: The four answers to today’s Quordle are:
GAVEL
CRUSH
SPEED
ETHOS
GAVEL is the small hammer traditionally associated with judges and courtroom proceedings.
CRUSH can refer to a strong romantic attraction or infatuation toward another person.
SPEED describes how quickly an object travels and is calculated as distance divided by time.
ETHOS refers to the characteristic spirit, beliefs, or guiding principles of an individual, group, or institution.
Today’s puzzle offers a fairly varied set of clues rather than relying on obscure vocabulary. GAVEL and ETHOS can be identified quickly if the definitions are familiar, while CRUSH may have several possible interpretations before the romantic clue is considered. SPEED is perhaps the most direct of the four.
The different categories make today’s Quordle a test of vocabulary and interpretation rather than simply letter recognition. If you managed to solve all four without checking the answers, you cleared today’s challenge.
