Quordle combines strategy and vocabulary in a four-word challenge that must be solved in nine attempts. The feedback system guides players with color-coded hints: green tiles for correct letters in correct positions, yellow for right letters in wrong spots, and gray for letters not in any target word.
The word challenge Quordle was conceived by David Mah and brought to life by developer Freddie Meyer. This innovative format eventually caught the attention of Merriam-Webster, who recognised its appeal to word puzzle enthusiasts.

These simple tips can help one in predicting words with 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 "BLIND" and "THING" from the previous day's Quordle game. Select "Past Games" from the "Daily Classic" drop-down menu, then select the 12 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. From the 10 April 2025 game:
| Letter | Word 1 | Word 2 | Word 3 | Word 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E | _E_ _ _ | _E_E_ | _ _ _ _E | _ _ _ _E |
| T | _ _ _ T | _ _T _ _ | ||
| N | _N_ _ _ | N_ _ _ _ |
Solutions are up front. But before that, try to guess a word taken from the hint of the game played on 11 April 2025 - Face when Wi-Fi stops working!
