If Quordle is a little too challenging today, you've come to the right place for hints. There aren't just hints here, but the whole Quordle solution. Scroll to the bottom of this page, and there it is. But are you sure you need all four answers? Maybe you just need a strategy guide. Either way, scroll down, and you'll get what you need.

What is Quordle?

Quordle is a five-letter word guessing game similar to Wordle, except each guess applies letters to four words at the same time. You get nine guesses instead of six to correctly guess all four words. It looks like playing four Wordle games at the same time, and that is essentially what it is. But it's not nearly as intimidating as it sounds.

Is Quordle harder than Wordle?

Yes, though not diabolically so.

Where did Quordle come from?

Amid the Wordle boom of late 2021 and early 2022, when everyone was learning to love free, in-browser, once-a-day word guessing games, creator Freddie Meyer says he took inspiration from one of the first big Wordle variations, Dordle — the one where you essentially play two Wordles at once. He took things up a notch, and released Quordle.

How is Quordle pronounced?

“Kwordle.” It should rhyme with “Wordle,” and definitely should not be pronounced exactly like "curdle.”

Is Quordle strategy different from Wordle?

Yes and no.

Your starting strategy should be the same as with Wordle. In fact, if you have a favorite Wordle opening word, there’s no reason to change that here. We suggest something rich in vowels, featuring common letters like C, R, and N. But you do you.

SEE ALSO: NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for June 26, 2025

After your first guess, however, you’ll notice things getting out of control if you play Quordle exactly like Wordle.

What should I do in Quordle that I don’t do in Wordle?

Solving a Wordle puzzle can famously come down to a series of single letter-change variations. If you’ve narrowed it down to “-IGHT,” you could guess “MIGHT” “NIGHT” “LIGHT” and “SIGHT” and one of those will probably be the solution — though this is also a famous way to end up losing in Wordle, particularly if you play on “hard mode.” In Quordle, however, this sort of single-letter winnowing is a deadly trap, and it hints at the important strategic difference between Wordle and Quordle: In Quordle, you can't afford to waste guesses unless you're eliminating as many letters as possible at all times. 

SEE ALSO: NYT Strands hints, answers for June 26

Guessing a completely random word that you already know isn't the solution, just to eliminate three or four possible letters you haven’t tried yet, is thought of as a desperate, latch-ditch move in Wordle. In Quordle, however, it's a normal part of the player's strategic toolset.

Is there a way to get the answer faster?

In our experience Quordle can be a slow game, sometimes dragging out longer than it would take to play Wordle four times. But a sort of blunt-force guessing approach can speed things up. The following strategy also works with Wordle if you only want the solution, and don’t care about having the fewest possible guesses:

Try starting with a series of words that puts all the vowels (including Y) on the board, along with some other common letters. We've had good luck with the three words: “NOTES,” “ACRID,” and “LUMPY.” YouTuber DougMansLand suggests four words: “CANOE,” “SKIRT,” “PLUMB,” and “FUDGY.”

Most of the alphabet is now eliminated, and you’ll only have the ability to make one or two wrong guesses if you use this strategy. But in most cases, you’ll have all the information you need to guess the remaining words without any wrong guesses.

If strategy isn't helping, and you're still stumped, here are some hints:

Are there any double or triple letters in today’s Quordle words?

There is only one word with twice-occurring letters.

Are any rare letters being used in today’s Quordle like Q or Z?

One word includes V.

What do today’s Quordle words start with?

S, G, R, and M

What are the answers for today’s Quordle?

Are you sure you want to know?

There’s still time to turn back.

OK, you asked for it. The answers are:

1. SLUMP

2. GUAVA

3. REBUS

4. MONEY

For anyone eyeing a fresh iPad, we have found a strong contender for the best early Prime Day deal.

As of June 26, the 2025 Apple iPad (11-inch, WiFi, 128GB) is down to $299 at Amazon — a $50 discount off its usual $349 price tag. That’s 14% off for a super-capable device that’s ideal for streaming, multitasking, note-taking, and everything in between.

There are other SKUs with different colours, storage options, and cellular capabilities, but this is the biggest bargain of them all — finally dropping back under $300.

This 2025 iPad refresh packs in some serious upgrades without overcomplicating what makes an iPad great. First up, it’s powered by Apple’s A16 chip, the same processor found in the latest iPhones. That means faster load times, smoother app switching, and the kind of snappy performance that makes work (and play) feel effortless.

The 11-inch Liquid Retina display aims to be a visual treat too — vibrant, crisp, and equipped with True Tone to automatically adjust to your environment. Whether you're sketching with Apple Pencil, editing photos, or binge-watching Severance, this screen holds its own.

With 128GB of storage, you’ve got plenty of room for your files, apps, and creative projects. And the 12MP front and back cameras make Zoom calls and casual snapshots look surprisingly good. Added WiFi 6 support keeps your connection fast and reliable, whether you're home, at school, or working remotely from a coffee shop.

This model also features Touch ID on the top button for quick unlocking and secure Apple Pay purchases — no Face ID, no fuss. And thanks to its all-day battery life, you can go from sunrise to late-night scrolls without reaching for a charger.

Whether you're grabbing this for yourself, a student, or as a thoughtful tech gift, now's a great time to buy — especially before Prime Day madness kicks into high gear and stock starts running low.

If you’re after more than one new screen for the household, the Amazon Fire TV is over $100 off ahead of Prime Day. And so you don’t have to clean as much whilst enjoying your new iPad, you can also save $300 on a Shark AI Ultra voice control robot vacuum ahead of Prime Day.

Tesla's Robotaxi service, which launched in Austin, Texas less than a week ago, has seen its vehicles involved in so many dodgy situations that Redditors put together a list of all the incidents.

The list (via The Verge) currently consists of 11 videos of Tesla's Robotaxis making fairly obvious errors such as driving in the wrong lane, running over curbs, and stopping in the middle of the road for no good reason.

Reddit

It's not a great look for the service which has been running less than a week, with only 10 to 20 Tesla Model Y cars, and only in a limited area in South Austin.

SEE ALSO: Videos show Tesla robotaxis appearing to violate traffic laws in Austin

The list has mostly been put together by folks riding in Tesla's Robotaxi cars, and it keeps increasing. Some incidents can be explained by legitimate causes, such as a video of a Robotaxi Tesla braking unexpectedly, which might have been caused by sudden sunlight (though this, again, raises the question of the validity of Tesla's vision-only approach to self-driving, as opposed to using additional sensors such as LiDARs). Some, like another video of a Tesla appearing to run over a curb, seem like plain Robotaxi errors.

It's worth noting that many Robotaxi users described their experience as smooth and comfortable. The service is currently open to the "Early Access" group, which mostly consists of Tesla enthusiasts and influencers. Also, while some of the videos above are worrying, Tesla's Robotaxis don't appear to have been involved in any accidents so far.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk hopes to expand the Robotaxi service over the next months, with "millions" of cars expected to be in operation next year, and the aim of people being able to send their Teslas to work as Robotaxis. It's unclear, however, why the service would see such a quick progress, given that Musk has been promising radical improvements to Tesla's Full Self-Driving tech (the assistance suite that allows for partially autonomous driving), which keep being postponed.

The original M3GAN was such a hit that a sequel will soon be dancing its way into theaters. I’m a bit of a fanboy, so I’m looking forward to seeing this queen lay down the law (and lay down some victims) yet again. I’m so excited, in fact, that I decided to get ready for her latest outing by watching her cinematic predecessors slash their way through one victim after another.

It's no secret that Jonathan Bailey oozes chemistry with whoever he happens to be in a room with, and Jimmy Fallon is apparently no exception.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

This 2024 model combines sleek design with features tailored for both gamers and entertainment lovers. Its 1000R curved screen promises to wrap around your field of vision in a way flat panels simply can’t match, helping reduce eye fatigue for those longer sessions. Samsung even cites clinical research from Seoul National University to back up the claim: the closer the curve is to 1000R, the more strain is reduced.

Beyond the curve, it’s packed with thoughtful tech. Flicker-Free technology and Eye Saver Mode are built in to keep your eyes fresh, while a 75Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync help smooth out motion during gameplay. It looks like a solid pick for casual and competitive gamers alike.

On the entertainment side, the built-in 5-watt speakers mean fewer cables and less clutter. Just connect via HDMI or DisplayPort and you’re ready to stream, game, or multitask. And thanks to the frameless display and slim metal stand, the whole setup can look clean and modern on any desk.

Whether you're grinding through an indie game backlog, getting a session of Fortnite in, or looking for a more immersive binge-watching setup to check out Season 4 of The Bear, the S39C can get the job done without draining your Prime Day budget. Just don’t sit on it too long: this is a limited-time offer and could vanish fast.

This isn’t your basic bot either. The Shark AI Ultra packs a serious punch when it comes to suction, picking up dirt, pet hair, and everyday messes from carpet and hard floors alike. Thanks to its Matrix Clean Navigation feature, it doesn’t just roam around randomly — it promises to clean in a precision grid, going over dirt multiple times for thorough, edge-to-edge coverage.

What’s more, it empties itself. The XL self-empty base holds up to 60 days of debris, and unlike other models, it’s bagless — with no ongoing costs or weird refill systems either. It’s built for pet owners in mind as well, with a self-cleaning brushroll that’s designed to lift hair without wrapping or clogging.
