Quordle Terms, Explained Simply

Word games generate their own vocabulary, and Quordle has plenty of it. This glossary collects the terms you will see across the game and this site — board, tile, streak, shared guess — in plain language, no jargon required.

The essentials

• Board — one of the four grids; each hides its own five-letter word.
• Tile — a single letter square. Green: right letter, right spot. Yellow: in the word, wrong spot. Gray: not in that word.
• Shared guess — one typed word counted on every board at once.
• Daily challenge — the same four words for all players, resetting at midnight.
• Streak — consecutive days with at least one solved puzzle.
