These simple tips can help you predict words using a diverse range of strategies.
Predicting words with vowels is the best hint in Quordle. They frequently appear in English words in a common pattern, such as CVC, consonant-vowel-consonant. For example, try "HARSH" and "MERIT" from the previous day's Quordle game. Select "Past Games" from the "Daily Classic" drop-down menu, then select the 17 April 2025 game.
Repeating letters is best suited for an elimination strategy. Half of the word can be guessed with little difficulty when a letter appears twice. Practise the hints from the 15 April 2025 game:
Solutions are up front. But before that, try to guess a word taken from the hint of the game played on 16 April 2025 - Thoughts, ideas, or button-mashing – it all counts!
