Summary

Just 6% of Quordle players know the similar-sounding word technique that makes impossible puzzles instantly clear. Learn the strategic approach that transforms frustrating guesswork into methodical solutions every single time.

Quordle challenges players with four five-letter words to decode within nine attempts. Each guess reveals color-coded feedback: green for correct letters in the right positions, yellow for correct letters in the wrong spots, and gray for letters not in any target word.

Game Origins

The innovative word puzzle Quordle emerged when David Mah envisioned multiplying Wordle's challenge by four. Freddie Meyer transformed this concept into a playable format before Merriam-Webster acquired it in late 2022.

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 “E”, middles at “U”, and ends at “E”

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

  • Word 3 starts with “P”, middles at “P”, and ends at “Y”

  • Word 4 starts with “E”, middles at “I”, and ends at “E”

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 "NAIVE" and "TRUNK" from the previous day's Quordle game. Select "Past Games" from the "Daily Classic" drop-down menu, then select the 7 May 2025 game.

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

  • Word 2 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CCVVC )

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

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

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 6 May 2025 game:

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

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

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

Today’s Elimination Strategy

  • The first, second, and third words have "E"

  • The first and fourth words have “L”

  • The second and fourth words have "T"

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: PRELUDE (but remove the PR)

  • WORD 2: TREAT (but add G at the start)

  • WORD 3: FLOPPY (but with P instead of FL)

  • WORD 4: DELETE (but remove the D)

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 5 May 2025 - WEAK (but add R after W)!

For those who just want the answers:

  • QUOTH

  • TRUNK

  • BESET

  • NAIVE

Whether perfecting PHONE strategy or becoming a MADAM of letter combinations, this game builds vocabulary strength. Challenge yourself daily to enhance your strategic approach to this captivating game.
