Even in 2025, some of us just can’t get enough of Wordle. Within seconds of finishing his first Wordle game, my 12-year-old son opened a new tab and googled “infinite Wordle.” (He found Wheeldle, still one of my favorites after all these years.) What’s better, though, is playing multiple Wordle-style puzzles at the same time. Here’s where Quordle and the others come in, and I’ll talk about how they compare to the original.
As we all know by now, in Wordle, you have six chances to guess a five-letter word. Green squares mean a guessed letter is correct; yellow means that letter is in the word but not in that position. That’s it, that’s the whole game. The original Wordle game is part of the New York Times’ stable of games, and we provide hints for each day’s Wordle puzzle here.
But why play just one game, guessing one five-letter word, when you can do multiple puzzles in parallel? Soon after Wordle came Dordle, where each of your guesses is applied to two different Wordle-style puzzles at once. (You get seven guesses instead of six.) Then of course there is Quordle with four puzzles (you get nine guesses), and it goes on from there: Octordle with eight puzzles (13 guesses), Sedecordle with 16 (21 guesses), and Duotrigordle with 32 (37 guesses).
Of all of them, I feel Quordle is the sweet spot: enough puzzles to make things interesting, but not so many as to be overwhelming. The Lifehacker team feels the same way, as it’s the only multi-Wordle for which we publish daily hints.
How do you win at games like Quordle?
Fortunately if you’re new, Quordle and its kin all feature a practice mode that you can play as many times as you like, alongside the daily puzzle that you can only play once each day. (The daily puzzle’s solution is the same for everyone.) So feel free to hit the practice button and start learning the ropes through experience.
But I can give you a few tips on strategy. No matter how many puzzles you’re solving at a time, I like to think of guesses as answering one (or more) of three questions:
-
What letters are in the solution?
-
I know some yellows; where are they in the solution?
-
Is the word I’m guessing the solution?
It’s a mistake to play the game with #3 as your only strategy. Pretty quickly you’ll discover exploratory guesses are important, and you’ll pick starter words that answer question #1 efficiently. (My mnemonic: ETAOIN SHRDLU, pronounced “Edwin Shirdloo” as if it were a name, is a list of the arguably most common letters in English. My starters always use letters from this list.)
Simultaneous Wordles require lots of #1 and #2 guesses. You need to constantly ask yourself: what information can I gather with this guess? The same guess can do double duty for different puzzles at the same time: maybe you combine a yellow from one word (#2) with some brand-new letters (#1) and a yellow from another word (#2 again).
You definitely don’t want to do a #3 guess until you’re pretty sure of the answer, since your attempted solution on one puzzle is a guess that will probably be useless for the other(s).
How to solve four Wordle puzzles at once
Alright, let’s look at this in action. The puzzle I’m solving (shown in the image up top) is a “practice” puzzle, so you don’t have to worry about spoilers.
We start with TRASH, and get hits on three of the puzzles. Next up, to start making progress on the upper right puzzle, I choose a word that uses common letters but doesn’t repeat any of the ones we just tried: CLINK.
Still only one yellow in that upper right puzzle, but we’re in a really good position now on the bottom two puzzles, which now each have four letters confirmed—some of them are even greens. Three on the top left isn’t shabby either. As we put together future guesses (#2’s and #3’s for the puzzles where we’re close), let’s keep feeding in new letters (#1) to help with the top right.
We can probably solve one already: the lower left has to be CHAS_, giving us either CHASE or CHASM. I get cocky and go with CHASE, which is wrong, but at least gets an E into play. So then I solve with CHASM, and then I see what I’ve learned from introducing that E.
The lower right is _ _ A_E with an S, a T, and a K in there somewhere, so it’s either STAKE or SKATE. Rather than use one of those as my next pick, I want to knock out a couple possibilities. I still don’t know where that L goes in the top right puzzle, and I’d like to get another unknown letter or two into the mix. It also wouldn’t hurt to stick an A in there somewhere to help us out on the top left, where we know there’s an A but we don’t know where.
I settle on ATOLL, which gives valuable clues for all three. We now know that the top right puzzle has an O, and we know several places that the L cannot be. We know that the top left must be either _AIS_ or _ _ISA, and my gut is saying DAISY. We have also confirmed that the lower right must be SKATE and not STAKE.
So I guess SKATE and then DAISY, which reveals a Y at the end of the top right puzzle. We don’t have many letters to go on, but the fact that we’ve guessed so many, with so few hits, suggests there might be at least one double letter. It can’t be a double L, since there are no Ls in the second and fourth spots, so I consider doubling up a letter I haven’t guessed yet. What could fit in LO_ _Y? All I can think of is LOBBY—yup, that’s it. Four puzzles solved in eight guesses, with one to spare. The little squares won’t necessarily fit in a tweet, so you also get a little shareable graphic that looks like this:

The same strategy applies no matter how many puzzles you’re solving. On the bigger grids, make sure to scroll around so you don’t forget about one at the bottom of the page. I actually find Quordle easier than Wordle, in some ways, because every guess has four times the chances of turning up some useful information. Give it a try and see how you fare!
