The rules
Four boards, four different hidden words.
Every guess you type is played on all four boards at once.
You get nine guesses in total, not nine per board.
Feedback colours work exactly as in Wordle.
What works
Meaningfully harder than Wordle without changing the rules you already know
Nine guesses for four words forces real strategy about which board to chase
A practice mode exists, so you are not limited to one puzzle a day
Free, with no account required
What doesn’t
Four grids on a phone screen is cramped
Can feel like admin rather than a puzzle once three boards are solved
Little of Wordle's social pull — fewer people play it
Effectively the same game, so it inherits Wordle's staleness over time
Skip Quordle if: Anyone who finds Wordle already sufficient, or who plays mostly on a small phone
Questions about Quordle
How many guesses do you get in Quordle?
Nine in total, shared across all four boards — not nine per word, which is what makes it substantially harder than Wordle.
Is Quordle free?
Yes, and it does not require an account. There is also a practice mode if one puzzle a day is not enough.
Is Quordle harder than Wordle?
Considerably. The rules are identical but you are solving four words with nine shared guesses, so early guesses must gather information rather than chase one answer.
Meldle is a different daily puzzle — four words sharing one missing pair of letters. Try today’s → It’s free, needs no account, and here is what it does badly.
