Today’s Quadle, game #449’s answer is…
While these Quordle answers don’t look terrifying at first glance, I’ve found them a bit difficult to solve in practice. DRIER was what really got me. Since I chose DRIED first, repeating R required guesswork. PROBE also looked difficult. I had his PR–E format and knew the O was likely in the middle, but I couldn’t choose between PROBE and PROVE.
Luckily, BORNE’s guess also got PROBE to a B, finally completing today’s Quordle with one guess left.

While Wordle challenges you to guess a new five-letter word every day, Quordle presents four puzzles to solve. They complete simultaneously rather than in sequence. Wordle gives 9 guesses instead of 6, but otherwise the rules are very similar.
It is played online via Quordle website (opens in new tab) It can also be accessed from the Merriam-Webster site. (opens in new tab)after the dictionary purchased Quordle last year.
As with Wordle, the answer is the same for every player every day. So you are competing with other players in the world. And like Wordle, the puzzles reset at midnight, so every day is a new challenge.
The website also includes a practice mode – recommended to use before trying the game for real! – and daily stats, including win streaks. You’ll also earn Quordle Achievements, which are specific badges for winning games in a certain number of turns, playing multiple times, or guessing particularly difficult words.
Oh, it’s hard. Really difficult.
Quordle’s rules are almost identical to Wordle’s rules.
1. Answers and letters in the correct place will turn green.
2. Letters that are in the answer but in the wrong place turn yellow.
3. Characters that are not in the answer are grayed out…
Four. …but the word you guessed appears in all quadrants of the puzzle at the same time, so A could turn green in one square, yellow in another, and gray in the last two squares.
Five. The answer is never plural.
6. A character can appear multiple times. So if you guessed that there were two of the same character, both could be yellow, both could be green, or one could be yellow and the other green.
7. Each guess must be a valid word in Quordle’s dictionary. For example, you cannot guess ABCDE.
8. Subsequent guesses do not have to include the correct letter, and there is no equivalent to Wordle’s Hard mode.
9. There are nine guesses to finding the Quordle answer.
Ten. You must complete the daily Quordle by midnight in your timezone.
Quordle has to be approached differently than Wordle. With 4 puzzles to solve in 9 guesses, you can’t just blindly fling letters and expect to win. If you think strategically, you have a much higher chance of winning.
Of course, in Wordle, but even more so in Quordle.
There are two important things to remember.
1. Use some opening words
First, you don’t need just one first word, but almost certainly two or three opening words.
These first words should be one of the best Wordle first words. Because the same things that make these words work well apply here. But then you should choose another word or two that uses more of the most common consonants and contains the remaining vowels.
For example, I currently use STARE > DOILY > PUNCH. Between them, these three words use 15 of the 26 letters of the alphabet, the five vowels Y and the nine most common consonants (S, T, R, D, L, P, N, C, and H). There are plenty of other options, and you might want to put M, B, F, or G in place of H, but something like that should do the trick.
If all goes well, you’ll have a good clue as to what the one or possibly two answers are. If not, good luck!
2. Filter
Second, when faced with a word where the answer could easily be one of several options, say -ATCH, it could be MATCH, BATCH, LATCH, CATCH, WATCH, HATCH, PATCH. Guess the words that narrow down those choices.
Wordle lets you instead try several of these in succession and hope one is correct. But that’s assuming there’s enough guesswork left. It’s risky, but it can also work. Plus, it’s the only option in hard mode. But with Quordle, this almost certainly fails. You simply can’t make a good enough guess.
In the scenario above, CLAMP can point to 4 out of 7 words at once, making it a very good guess.
