Hints, Answers for Thursday, October 16, 2025

Quordle never fails to keep us on our toes, challenging our brains to juggle four puzzles at once. Today’s puzzle strikes a perfect balance: challenging enough to make you think but still totally solvable with a little patience. Ready for some hints?

What is Quordle?

Quordle is like Wordle, but four times the fun (or frustration, depending on your mood). In this game, you’ll be solving four five-letter words simultaneously within a single grid. You get nine attempts to guess all of them, and each guess applies across all four words at once. Letters will turn:

• Green for the correct letter in the correct place
• Yellow for the correct letter in the wrong spot
• Gray for a letter not in the word at all

The game resets at midnight local time. Originally created by Freddie Meyer in early 2022, Quordle was acquired by Merriam-Webster in 2023.
