Play Quordle UK: The Free 4-Word Game
Quordle is a word puzzle where you solve four different five-letter words at the same time. You get nine guesses to find all four.
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
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
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
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
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.
Quordle tips and strategy
Open with two words that share no letters. That tests ten letters on all four boards in just two guesses.
Spend your early guesses on new letters. Do not chase one board too soon.
Read each board on its own. The same letter can be green on one board and gray on another.
Watch for repeated letters. If you play a letter twice and one copy turns gray, that word has it only once.
When a guess can only help one board, finish the board you are closest to solving.
Each board needs its own winning guess. Start typing answers by guess six at the latest.
