Quordle tests vocabulary skills with four distinct five-letter words to uncover in nine guesses. After each attempt, colors guide your strategy, green indicates perfect matches, yellow shows correct letters in wrong positions, and gray reveals absent letters.
What began as a creative experiment became Quordle when David Mah wondered how players would handle solving four puzzles simultaneously. Freddie Meyer refined this ambitious concept before Merriam-Webster recognized its potential in their word game portfolio.
Did you know? DINER appears in approximately 89,000 business names across America.
FUGUE created the longest average solve time in early Quordle statistics, confounding even vocabulary experts.
These simple tips can help you predict words using a diverse range of strategies.
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 “M”, middles at “N”, and ends at “S”
Word 2 starts with “C”, middles at “I”, and ends at “E”
Word 3 starts with “N”, middles at “S”, and ends at “Y”
Word 4 starts with “S”, middles at “A”, and ends at “N”
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 8 May 2025 game.
Word 1 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CVCVC )
Word 2 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CCVCV )
Word 3 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CVCVC )
Word 4 has two vowels and three consonants ( Pattern: CCVVC )
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 7 May 2025 game:
The letter “U” helps with guessing the first and second words.
The letter “T” helps with guessing the first and second words.
The letter “N” helps with guessing the second and fourth words.
The first and second words have "M"
The first and second words have “I”
The first and third words have "N"
The first, third, and fourth words have “S”
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: SINUS (but with M instead of S)
WORD 2: PRIME (but with C instead of P)
WORD 3: POSEY (but with N instead of P)
WORD 4: PLAIN (but with S instead of P)
Solutions are up front. But before that, try to guess a similar-sounding word taken from the hint of the game played on 6 May 2025 - TORCH (but with P instead of T)!
For those who just want the answers:
MINUS
CRIME
NOSEY
SLAIN
From facing a HORDE of challenging letter combinations to ensuring victory SHONE brightly, this game offers endless intellectual stimulation. With practice, you'll develop instincts for common letter patterns in this sophisticated game.
