Quordle players looking for help with today’s puzzle can use the clues below before revealing the four five-letter answers. The August 20 puzzle brings together words linked to books, being almost there, volcanic activity and something thinner, narrower or of higher quality.
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): Helps keep a book together.
Word 2 (Top Right): Almost there.
Word 3 (Bottom Left): Volcanic verb. Also, to react furiously.
Word 4 (Bottom Right): Thinner and narrower, or of higher quality.
There is another clue for players who need an additional push: none of today’s four words contains a pair of repeated letters.
The four answers begin with S, C, E and F, respectively.
The starting letters should help narrow down the possibilities. Look for an S word connected to keeping a book together, a C word meaning almost there, an E word associated with volcanic activity and fury, and an F word describing something thinner, narrower or of higher quality.
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:
SPINE
CLOSE
ERUPT
