by · Forbes

Hey, folks! Hints and the answers for today’s Quordle words are just ahead.

How To Play Quordle

For any newcomers joining us, here’s how to play Quordle: Just start typing in words. You have four five-letter words to guess and nine attempts to find them all. The catch is that you play all four words simultaneously.

If you get a letter in the right place for any of the four words, it will light up in green. If a word contains a letter from one of your guesses but it’s in the wrong place, it will appear in yellow. You could always check out the practice games before taking on the daily puzzle.

Here are some hints for today’s Quordle game, followed by the answers:
