Read MoreA strategy guide for the September 17 ‘Quordle,’ a puzzle game similar to ‘Wordle,’ but which gives the user nine guesses to figure out four different words. 
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.
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.
Yes, though not diabolically so.
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 on January 30. Meyer’s creation was covered in The Guardian six days later, and now, according to Meyer, it attracts millions of daily users. Today, Meyer earns modest revenue from Patreon, where dedicated Quordle fans can donate to keep their favorite puzzle game running.
“Kwordle.” It should rhyme with “Wordle,” and definitely should not be pronounced exactly like “curdle.”
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.
After your first guess, however, you’ll notice things getting out of control if you play Quordle exactly like 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.
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.
In my 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:

Read MoreHow do the iPhone 15 and Galaxy S24 compare based on rumors? Let’s take a look.
Read MoreRumor has it that the next Apple Watch will be a big departure from previous models. 
The Apple Watch Series 9, announced just days ago, is old news already. Let’s talk about the next Apple Watch.
Apple cleared the air on the Apple Watch Series 9 at its big iPhone 15 event last week, but rumors are already flying about the next iteration. That makes sense; people love Apple rumors and the Series 9 is not that different from its predecessors, save for the nifty double tap feature.
Let’s not waste any more time. Here’s what we know about Apple Watch Series 10.
It’s worth saying up front that we don’t know that much about the next Apple Watch yet, given that it’s at least a full year away from coming out. That said, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman (an ever-reliable source of Apple info) gave us a bunch of useful tidbits in an August edition of his Power On newsletter. Namely (pun intended), the next Apple Watch will have a slightly different name.
According to both Gurman and a February research note from tech analysis firm Omdia, the next Apple Watch will be called something like Apple Watch X, or Series X. That is, of course, the Roman numeral for 10, so Apple is going full Final Fantasy with the new watch.
But wait, there’s more! According to Gurman, the Watch X will have a thinner case and perhaps a major redesign regarding how the bands attach to the watch face. Instead of a traditional slide-and-lock mechanism, Apple is considering going with a magnetic system that could potentially free up space for a bigger battery or some other internal improvements.
Another big change is that Apple is reportedly replacing its traditional OLED watch displays with microLED technology. Without getting too deep into the technical weeds of what that means, the difference is that microLED is capable of better color display, better battery life, and better contrast. In other words, it’ll just look better all around. Both Gurman’s newsletter and the Omdia research note back up this rumor.
As far as new features go, the only thing Gurman mentions is a blood pressure monitor, which would definitely be preferable to one of those cuff things that squeezes your arm. We’ll have to wait to hear more, though.
And what a wait it will be. According to Gurman, the Apple Watch X won’t launch until 2024 at the earliest, and possibly not even until 2025. Be patient, folks.
