Summary

While most players struggle with letter positioning, our phonetic method reveals that removing "ST" from "STEADY" gives you "READY" instantly. Discover why repeated letters across multiple words create a systematic solution path.

Quordle combines strategy and vocabulary in a four-word challenge 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.

Game Origins

The multiplied word challenge known as 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 recognized its appeal to word puzzle enthusiasts.

Strategy Tips

These simple tips can help you predict words using a diverse range of strategies.

Letter Hints Strategy:

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 “R”, middles at “Y”, and ends at “L”

  • Word 2 starts with “A”, middles at “G”, and ends at “E”

  • Word 3 starts with “B”, middles at “N”, and ends at “H”

  • Word 4 starts with “R”, middles at “A”, and ends at “Y”

Vowel Strategy

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 "UNDUE" and "MUNCH " from the previous day's Quordle game. Select "Past Games" from the "Daily Classic" drop-down menu, then select the 11 May 2025 game.

  • Word 1 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CVCVC )

  • Word 2 has three vowel and two consonants ( Pattern: VCCVV )

  • Word 3 has one vowel and four consonants ( Pattern: CVCCC )

  • Word 4 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CVVCC )

Elimination Strategy

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 9 May 2025 game:

  • The letter “M” helps with guessing the first and second words.

  • The letter “I” helps with guessing the first and second words.

  • The letter “N” helps with guessing the first and third words.

Today’s Elimination Strategy

  • The first, second and fourth words have "R"

  • The first, second and fourth words have “A”

  • The second and third words have “U”

SIMILAR SOUNDING WORD STRATEGY

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: LOYAL (but with R instead of L)

  • WORD 2: CARGO (but with AR and U instead of CAR)

  • WORD 3: PUNCH (but with B instead of P)

  • WORD 4: STEADY (but remove the ST)

Spoiler Alert

Solutions are up front. But before that, try to guess a similar-sounding word taken from the hint of the game played on 8 May 2025 - DELETE (but remove the D)!

For those who just want the answers:

  • ROYAL 

  • ARGUE

  • BUNCH

  • READY
