Play Quordle — four words, nine guesses.
Play Quordle here — the game itself, on its own page, under the real rules. Four secret 5-letter words hide behind the four boards; every guess you make is played on all four at once, and you have nine guesses to solve them all. Daily gives everyone the same four words today; Practice deals four fresh words whenever you like. This is the playable game — if you are mid-game elsewhere and want help instead, the Quordle Solver is its own separate page.
Type a 5-letter word — it will be played on all four boards at once.
The four dots under each key show that letter’s state on Boards 1–4 — so a letter can be green on one board and grey on another, and the keyboard never hides that.
The Rules
How Quordle works — the proper rules
- Four secret words. Each board hides a different 5-letter word. In a game the four words are never the same word twice.
- Nine guesses, shared. You get 9 guesses in total — not 9 per board. Every guess is entered once and played on all four boards at the same time, even on boards you have already solved.
- Guesses must be real words. A guess only counts if it is a valid 5-letter English word. Anything else is rejected and does not use up a guess.
- Each board colours the guess for its own word. Green — right letter, right place. Yellow — the letter is in that board’s word, but not in that place. Grey — no more of that letter in that board’s word than the green and yellow tiles already show.
- Duplicates are counted exactly. If a word holds one L and you guess a word with two Ls, only one of them can turn green or yellow — the second stays grey. A letter grey on one board may still be the answer on another.
- Solve a board by guessing its word exactly. That board is banked and marked with the guess number you solved it on. Solve all four boards within the nine guesses to win.
- Run out of guesses and the game ends. Any unsolved words are revealed, so you always learn the answers.
- Daily vs Practice. Daily is one puzzle per day — the same four words for everyone, changing at midnight your time. Practice deals four fresh random words every game, as often as you like.
