Use the spoiler-free clues below to work through today’s four Quordle grids.
Check the starting letters and repeated-letter clue if you need an extra push.
Scroll further only when you are ready to reveal all four answers.
Quordle players looking for help with today’s puzzle can use the clues below before revealing the four five-letter answers. The August 18 puzzle brings together words linked to aquatic plants, country estates, charitable giving, and poker.
Unlike traditional word games, Quordle requires players to solve four words simultaneously. Each guess is applied to all four grids, making it useful to identify common letters and positions across the puzzles.
Players who are stuck can use these clues without immediately giving away the answers.
Word 1 (Top Left): Simple plants that typically grow in or close to water.
Word 2 (Top Right): A large house in the country, usually surrounded by extensive lands.
Word 3 (Bottom Left): A person who gives money or support to others, especially a charitable benefactor.
Word 4 (Bottom Right): A word meaning cards distributed to players in a poker game.
There is another clue for players who need an additional push: two of today’s words each contain a pair of repeated letters.
The four answers begin with A, M, D, and D, respectively.
The starting letters should help narrow down the possibilities. Look for an A word describing simple aquatic plants, an M word for a large country house, a D word meaning a benefactor, and another D word associated with distributing cards in poker.
If you want to solve today’s puzzle without spoilers, this is the point to stop reading.
Spoiler alert: The four answers to today’s Quordle are:
ALGAE
MANOR
DONOR
DEALT
Today’s Quordle combines four words from different contexts, making the clues useful for narrowing down the possibilities. ALGAE should become clearer from the aquatic-plant clue, while MANOR directly connects to the large country house.
DONOR is closely tied to the benefactor clue, and DEALT requires players to connect the word to the distribution of cards in poker.
The repeated-letter clue provides another useful advantage when narrowing down the possibilities. Players who solved all four without checking the answers can consider today’s challenge complete.
