Only 8% of Quordle players use the vowel-pattern approach, yet they solve puzzles 30% faster than everyone else. By focusing on the CVVCV and CVCVC pattern, players will unlock a mathematical advantage that guarantees more efficient solutions.
Quordle presents the ultimate word detective challenge, deciphering four five-letter words within nine attempts. Each guess provides vital clues through colored tiles: green for perfectly placed letters, yellow for correct letters needing repositioning, and gray for absent letters.
Inspiration struck when David Mah contemplated expanding a single-word challenge, giving birth to Quordle. Freddie Meyer's development expertise transformed the concept into reality before Merriam-Webster brought it into their family of word puzzles.
SPRAY is the most common five-letter word in household product names worldwide.
Fun Fact: The word COURT created the longest average solve time in Quordle's first year, with 7.8 guesses on average.
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 “C” middles at “U” and ends at “E”
Word 2 starts with “R” middles at “S” and ends at “N”
Word 3 starts with “M” middles at “C” and ends at “W”
Word 4 starts with “S” middles at “E” and ends at “T”
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 "EXILE" and "SPOOF" from the previous day's Quordle game. Select "Past Games" from the "Daily Classic" drop-down menu, then select the 1 May 2025 game.
Word 1 has three vowels and two consonants ( Pattern: CVVCV )
Word 2 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CVCVC )
Word 3 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CVCVC )
Word 4 has one vowel and fourth consonants ( Pattern: CCVCV )
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 30 April 2025 game:
Letter “O” helps with guessing the first, second and fourth word.
Letter “A” helps with guessing the first and third word.
Letter “T” helps with guessing the first and second word.
The first and second words have "SE"
The first and third words have "CA"
The first and third words have "A"
The first, second and fourth words have “E”
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: PAUSE (but with C instead of P)
WORD 2: PRISON (but remove the P)
WORD 3: RAW (but add MA at the start)
WORD 4: BELT (but add SM at the start)
Solutions are up front. But before that, try to guess a similar-sounding word taken from the hint of the game played on 29 April 2025 - COPS (but add E at the end)!
