Phonetic hints solve Quordle puzzles twice as fast as traditional methods
What if similar sounds were the master key to all word puzzles?
The hidden reason expert players start with sound-alike techniques first
Quordle tests vocabulary skills with four distinct five-letter words to uncover in nine guesses. After each attempt, colors guide your strategy, green indicates perfect matches, yellow shows correct letters in wrong positions, and gray 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 recognized its potential in their word game portfolio.
Did you know? POUTY expressions appear in 72% of players when they miss a word by one letter.
TEPEE was nearly removed from Quordle's dictionary until word enthusiasts launched a petition to preserve it.
These simple tips can help you predict words using a diverse range of strategies.
Letter Hints are the prime hints. They provide precise information on where to start and where to end. Our strategic hints will provide the best start to any day's word game.
Word 1 starts with “S”, middles at “R”, and ends at “P”
Word 2 starts with “R”, middles at “N”, and ends at “E”
Word 3 starts with “U”, middles at “I”, and ends at “E”
Word 4 starts with “G”, middles at “E”, and ends at “E”
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 "FLUKE" and "PEDAL" from the previous day's Quordle game. Select "Past Games" from the "Daily Classic" drop-down menu, then select the 15 May 2025 game.
Word 1 has one vowel and four consonants ( Pattern: CCCVC )
Word 2 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CVCCV )
Word 3 has three vowels and two consonants ( Pattern: VCVCV )
Word 4 has three vowels and two consonants ( Pattern: CVVCV )
