Quordle elevates word puzzles with a quadruple challenge, four five-letter words to discover within nine guesses. The color feedback system guides players: green tiles confirm correct letters in correct spots, yellow shows right letters in wrong positions, and gray indicates letters not present.
The evolution of Quordle began with David Mah's question: What if one word puzzle became four? Developer Freddie Meyer answered by creating a playable format that eventually impressed Merriam-Webster's word experts.
The word DEBUT appears in 27 languages with nearly identical spelling and pronunciation.

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 "SHARD" and "PAINT" from the previous day's Quordle game. Select "Past Games" from the "Daily Classic" drop-down menu, then select the 23 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. Practice the hints from the 21 April 2025 game:
Letter “A” helps with guessing SHARD and SUMAC
Letter “H” helps with guessing SHARD and LEACH
Letter “C” helps with guessing SUMAC and LEACH
Letter “S” helps with guessing SHARD and SUMAC
The first, second and fourth words have "C"
The first, and second words have "O"
The first and third words have "E"
The second and third words have "R"
The third and fourth words have "A"
Phonetic hints serve as a secret weapon in Quordle, triggering that "aha!" moment when players are stuck. By focusing on similar sounds rather than meanings, they guide toward solutions by enhancing the game experience.
WORD 1: JOKE (but with CH instead of J)
WORD 2: COLLAR (but remove the second L)
WORD 3: FLAME (but with R instead of L)
WORD 4: CARE (but add IN at the end)
Solutions are up front. But before that, try to guess a word taken from the hint of the game played on 22 April 2025 - Witch's favorite Uber!
For those who just want the answers:
CHOKE
