Quordle #1691: hints before you spoil it
Friday's Quordle gives you four words and nine guesses, and today's first clue is all about vowels.
In brief
Friday's Quordle gives you four words and nine guesses, and today's first clue is all about vowels. Work the vowel count first. Knowing today's four grids hold 4 different vowels narrows your opening guesses fast. Originally reported by TechRadar.
Four grids, one brain
Quordle asks you to solve four words at once, and it has kept people hooked past 1,500 games. Friday's puzzle is game #1691.
“Quordle was one of the original Wordle alternatives and is still going strong now more than 1,500 games later.”
Hints before answers
The page is built as a ladder. Five hints come first, then today's answers, then the Daily Sequence answers and the archive of past ones.
Read the warning
A spoiler warning sits above the solutions. Stop scrolling at whichever hint unsticks you, because the answers are printed a few lines below.
“don't read on if you don't want to know the answers”
Today's vowel count
Hint one is the vowel tally: today's four answers use 4 different vowels between them. That rules out a lot of openers straight away.
“The number of different vowels in Quordle today is 4”
The rest of the ladder
After vowels come repeated letters, uncommon letters, and two rounds of starting letters. Each one gives away a bit more than the last.
Other puzzles, same desk
If Quordle is not your only habit, TechRadar runs daily hint columns for NYT Connections, Strands, and the original Wordle.
Here's the gist
Work the vowel count first. Knowing today's four grids hold 4 different vowels narrows your opening guesses fast.
