Quordle challenges word enthusiasts with four hidden five-letter words to be discovered in nine attempts or fewer. The color-coded feedback after each guess, green, yellow, and gray tiles, provides the strategic information needed to solve all four puzzles.
The innovative Quordle concept sprang from David Mah's desire to multiply the word puzzle challenge by four. Freddie Meyer refined the gameplay before Merriam-Webster recognized its potential and added it to their respected collection of word games.
