Use the spoiler-free clues to work through today’s four Quordle grids.
Check the starting letters and repeated-letter clue to narrow down the possible answers.
Scroll further only when you’re ready to reveal all four solutions.
Quordle players looking for help with today’s puzzle can use the clues below before revealing the four five-letter answers. The August 12 puzzle brings together words associated with strong emotion, groups of people, the human body, and seawater moving onto the shore.
Unlike traditional word games, Quordle requires players to solve four words simultaneously. Each guess is applied to all four grids, so identifying common letters and their positions can help narrow down multiple answers at once.
Players who are stuck can use the following clues without immediately giving away the answers.
Word 1 (Top Left): An adverb describing something done in a passionate, excited or angry way, as in ‘_____ anticipated.’
Word 2 (Top Right): A large group of people.
Word 3 (Bottom Left): The organ that keeps us ticking along.
Word 4 (Bottom Right): The rush of seawater toward the beach after a wave breaks.
There is another clue for players who need an additional push: one of today’s words contains a pair of repeated letters.
The four answers begin with H, C, H and S, respectively.
The starting letters should make the possibilities easier to narrow down. Look for an H word describing something done with strong emotion, a C word meaning a large group of people, another H word connected to the body, and an S word describing seawater rushing onto the shore.
If you want to solve the puzzle without spoilers, this is the point to stop reading.
Spoiler alert: The four answers to today’s Quordle are:
HOTLY
CROWD
HEART
SWASH
HOTLY: Means in a passionate, intense, or emotional manner. It can describe something that is strongly anticipated, debated, or pursued.
CROWD: Refers to a large number of people gathered together in one place.
HEART: The muscular organ that pumps blood around the body and keeps the circulatory system working.
SWASH: Describes the rush or surge of seawater up the beach after a wave breaks.
Today’s Quordle combines four familiar words with clues from very different contexts. HOTLY can be identified through its connection to passionate or intense action, while CROWD is a straightforward match for the large-group clue.
HEART is likely to stand out once the body-related clue and starting letter are considered. SWASH may be the trickiest of the four, as it refers to the movement of seawater along the shore.
The repeated-letter clue can also help confirm the correct solution. Players who solved all four without checking the answers have completed today’s challenge.
