Quordle combines strategy and vocabulary in a four-word challenge that must be solved in nine attempts. The feedback system guides players with color-coded hints: green tiles for correct letters in correct positions, yellow for right letters in wrong spots, and gray for letters not in any target word.
The word challenge Quordle was conceived by David Mah and brought to life by developer Freddie Meyer. This innovative format eventually caught the attention of Merriam-Webster, who recognised its appeal to word puzzle enthusiasts.
