Quordle - Wordle's big brother [grin]

My son has introduced me to Quordle - www.quordle.com/#/

Four five-letter words to be solved at the same time, in nine guesses.

I have been in practice mode for about 45 minutes and have managed to work out guess three out of four on one game.

Some of the words (emcee, for example) I'd never have guessed in a month of Sundays.

Last one had me stumped but patiently with pen and paper I got it.?

Managed it today, easiest word took longest.

I got the first one I tried, which was obviously beginner’s luck as I got nowhere with the next 3. But I spent a lot bit of time in practice mode today while hunkering down avoiding the horrible weather. I’m hoping I’ve got the hang of it now. smile It’s a good workout for the brain!

Getting better at it. Being able to do practice ones helps. I'm still doing Wordle but find Quordle more tactical.

One letter off getting all 4

WIWYA - it's addictive but once a day is enough for me.

Wheniwasyourage Tue 22-Feb-22 15:08:18

It was bad enough when it was just Wordle! Anyway, if it brings a little joy into our lives, why not? TAfter all, the dusting will not go away.

Wheniwasyourage Tue 22-Feb-22 15:08:41

Thought I'd removed the extra T!!

Got it for once. smile

Been doing quordle about a week & love it - only got all 4 words twice though - I’m usually a 3.
Wordle before I get out of bed & quordle after a couple of coffees!!!

rubysong Thu 24-Feb-22 13:03:30

I've just tried it and got two of them. I made some mistakes as the delete button and the enter button are the opposite way round to wordle. I shall try again tomorrow.

Farmor15 Thu 24-Feb-22 15:21:16

Strategy definitely works - I use first 2 words that have completely different letters and include most vowels. eg BARED then MOIST. If one of 4 words has 3 correct letters, I may work on it, but try to use unused letters where possible, sometimes leaving out a letter if I know it's in a word, and where it is. Also, letters are sometimes repeated is same word.
My results today:
5 9
8 6
Very addictive!

This gave brain a workout today.

Really enjoying Quordle. There are loads of practice ones to do. The more I do the better I get.

Maggiemaybe Sat 26-Feb-22 07:54:19

Well I got all four at the last gasp today, but but one was particularly challenging.

Farmor15 Sat 26-Feb-22 10:13:10

Yes, today there was a word I'd never heard of. However, I was doing a practice one yesterday and down to last word and 1 letter. I just tried all the remaining letters and 1 worked! (At least if a word you try is not in their list, you don't waste a try.)Then that word came up in daily challenge today. So my vocabulary is increasing! I imagine if that word came up in Wordle there would be an outcry.

Nandalot Sat 26-Feb-22 10:28:46

I really enjoy Quordle. Thanks to Hurdygurdy for telling us about it. I love that even though the letters are not in one word, they can help with another.
