How to solve Quordle effectively

  1. Start with strong openers:
    Use two starting words that include all vowels and frequent consonants (like “SLATE” and “ROUND”).
  2. Observe all boards together:
    Don’t focus on one grid. Use shared letters that appear across multiple puzzles.
  3. Prioritize greens and shared yellows:
    Locked positions can reveal useful patterns for other words.
  4. Avoid repeating letters too soon:
    Test new characters early to eliminate possibilities efficiently.
  5. Focus on letter patterns:
    Common endings like “-ING,” “-ED,” or “-LY” can help solve multiple boards faster.
  6. Work from the easiest to hardest:
    Finish simpler words first to unlock overlapping clues for the remaining puzzles.
  7. Stay calm on the last guesses:
    Extreme mode can trick you with rare letters; use elimination logic carefully.
