Today's Quordle lands on Sunday, and this challenge mixes short, punchy words with some tricky letter repetition across all four grids. With nine guesses to solve all four words simultaneously, you'll need every edge you can get. We've got the hints to guide you to a clean sweep.
The Basics (For New Players)
Quordle gives you nine attempts to crack four five-letter words at once. Each guess applies to all four grids simultaneously. After each guess, tiles change color: green means right letter, right spot; yellow signals right letter, wrong position; gray indicates the letter isn't in that particular word. One puzzle per day, shared by word game enthusiasts worldwide.
Created as a Wordle variant and now hosted by Merriam-Webster, Quordle has become the ultimate test for word puzzle veterans who want more challenge. Today's puzzle awaits with four words to conquer.

Word 2 (Top-Right): BOAST
Word 3 (Bottom-Left): PRIED
Word 4 (Bottom-Right): BLIMP
Word DNA: Breaking Down Today's Answers
PITHY, An adjective. Means concise and forcefully expressive, packed with substance. From Old English piþa (the core of a plant stem), evolving to mean the essential, condensed essence of something.
BOAST, A verb. Means to talk with excessive pride about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities. From Middle English bosten, likely of Scandinavian origin, carrying the same braggadocio for centuries.
PRIED, A verb (past tense). Means to inquire impertinently into private matters or to force something open. From Middle English prien, rooted in the idea of peering closely where you don't belong.
BLIMP, A noun. Refers to a large, non-rigid airship filled with gas, typically used for advertising or observation. The term's origin is uncertain, possibly military slang from World War I, onomatopoeic for the sound of gas bags being inflated.
The Difficulty Rating
Overall Difficulty: 3 / 5
Hardest Word: BLIMP, the single vowel (I) makes it tough to land early. B-L-M-P is a consonant cluster that eats guesses.
Easiest Word: BOAST, common five-letter verb with a straightforward vowel pattern. Most players will hit it by guess three or four.
Trap Factor: MEDIUM. The P-initial pattern (PITHY and PRIED share a starting letter) can lock you into the wrong quadrant if you're not tracking which grid is which.
This is a solid midweek-level challenge disguised as a Sunday puzzle. PITHY and PRIED both start with P, which creates a visual echo across the top-left and bottom-left grids. BLIMP is the real gatekeeper, that lone vowel and heavy consonant load means most players will burn extra guesses there. BOAST is the gift word; it's common enough that a decent opener should reveal most of its letters quickly.
Strategic Insights
Open with a vowel-heavy word like AUDIO or ADIEU to light up the vowel positions across all four grids. Today's set is vowel-starved, BLIMP only has one vowel, BOAST has two, and PITHY and PRIED each carry two, so early vowel intel is critical for narrowing down which words go where.
Watch for the shared P-start between PITHY and PRIED. If you confirm a P in the top-left grid early, don't automatically assume it's PITHY, check the bottom-left grid before locking in. The B-start pairing between BOAST and BLIMP is less dangerous since their structures diverge quickly, but it's worth noting both top-right and bottom-right begin with the same letter.
