The 4-words-at-once game

Quordle is the 4-words-at-once game: four hidden five-letter words, one shared guess list, nine tries. Some players search for it as a quad Wordle or four Wordles at once — same idea. Type a word and it counts on all four boards at the same time; the colors tell you per board whether the letter is right, misplaced, or missing. Solve all four words before the guesses run out. New here? The full walkthrough takes two minutes.

How to play the Quordle game?

  1. 1

    Enter a five-letter word

    Type any valid five-letter word and press Enter. The same word is played on all four boards at once.

  2. 2

    Read the colour clues

    After every guess, each board scores your word on its own.

    • Green The letter is correct and in the correct position.
    • Yellow The letter is in the word but in the wrong position.
    • Gray The letter is not in that word.

    The colours can differ from board to board, because every board hides a different word.

  3. 3

    Make your next guess

    Use the clues from all four boards to choose your next five-letter word. Every new guess is entered on all four boards again.

  4. 4

    Solve all four words

    Keep reading the clues until you find all four hidden words. You win if you solve every word within nine guesses.

Quick tips

  • Start with a word that contains common letters.

  • Pay attention to green and yellow letters first.

  • Use each guess to help all four boards instead of focusing on only one.

  • If one board is solved, keep guessing to complete the remaining boards.
