## 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
## Key takeaway

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