Quordle tests vocabulary skills with four distinct five-letter words to uncover in nine guesses. After each attempt, colours guide your strategy: green indicates perfect matches, yellow shows correct letters in wrong positions, and grey reveals absent letters.
What began as a creative experiment became Quordle when David Mah wondered how players would handle solving four puzzles simultaneously. Freddie Meyer refined this ambitious concept before Merriam-Webster recognised its potential in their word game portfolio.

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 15 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 13 April 2025 game:
