Quordle #1693: your hints before the answers

Sunday's four-word puzzle comes with a ladder of clues, so you can take just enough help to keep the streak alive.

In brief

Sunday's four-word puzzle comes with a ladder of clues, so you can take just enough help to keep the streak alive. Today's Quordle uses four different vowels across its four answers, and the hints are stacked so you can stop before the spoilers. Originally reported by TechRadar.

Clues stacked by strength

Clues stacked by strength

Five hints run in order: vowels, repeated letters, uncommon letters, then two passes at starting letters. Take the weakest one that unsticks you and stop there.

Midnight, your time zone

A fresh grid drops at local midnight, so one reader's today is another's yesterday. Saturday's game #1692 has its own page if you landed a day behind.

“A new Quordle puzzle appears at midnight each day for your time zone”

Still going at 1,500 games

Quordle was one of the first Wordle spin-offs and has outlasted most of them. Four grids at once keeps it genuinely hard rather than a warm-up.

“It offers a genuine challenge, though, so read on if you need some Quordle hints today”

The rest of the daily round

Same columns cover NYT Connections and Strands, with a separate Wordle page for the original. Enough to fill a morning coffee if one puzzle isn't sinking in.

Spoilers start below

The answers sit under the hints on the same page, flagged with a warning. Scroll carefully if you only wanted a nudge.

Four vowels in play

The first hint counts distinct vowels across all four answers today: four of them. That rules out a grid built on one repeated vowel sound.

“The number of different vowels in Quordle today is 4”

The short version

Today's Quordle uses four different vowels across its four answers, and the hints are stacked so you can stop before the spoilers.
