'Quordle' Today: Here Are The Answers And Hints For August 25
We're now in the last week of August, which means we're on the verge of crisp air, fall leaves, and pumpkin spiced this and that. But how can you be expected to enjoy the changing seasons when today's Quordle is such torture?
Fortunately, all four Quordle answers for today are down below. But if you've got time, check out our strategy guide. Become a Quordle champ by summer's end, instead of jumping to the answer. I have a feeling you'll want games like this to keep you company as the weather gets colder, so don't just spoil this one for yourself! (Unless you want to, because, again, the answers are all down there).
What is Quordle?
Quordle is a five-letter word guessing game similar to Wordle, except each guess applies letters to four words at the same time. You get nine guesses instead of six to correctly guess all four words. It looks like playing four Wordle games at the same time, and that is essentially what it is. But it's not nearly as intimidating as it sounds.
Is Quordle harder than Wordle?
Yes, though not diabolically so.
Where did Quordle come from?
Amid the Wordle boom of late 2021 and early 2022, when everyone was learning to love free, in-browser, once-a-day word guessing games, creator Freddie Meyer says he took inspiration from one of the first big Wordle variations, Dordle — the one where you essentially play two Wordles at once. He took things up a notch, and released Quordle on January 30. Meyer's creation was covered in The Guardian six days later, and now, according to Meyer, it attracts millions of daily users. Today, Meyer earns modest revenue from Patreon, where dedicated Quordle fans can donate to keep their favorite puzzle game running.
How is Quordle pronounced?
"Kwordle." It should rhyme with "Wordle," and definitely should not be pronounced exactly like "curdle."
Is Quordle strategy different from Wordle?
Yes and no.
Your starting strategy should be the same as with Wordle. In fact, if you have a favorite Wordle opening word, there's no reason to change that here. We suggest something rich in vowels, featuring common letters like C, R, and N. But you do you.
After your first guess, however, you'll notice things getting out of control if you play Quordle exactly like Wordle.
What should I do in Quordle that I don't do in Wordle?
Solving a Wordle puzzle can famously come down to a series of single letter-change variations. If you've narrowed it down to "-IGHT," you could guess "MIGHT" "NIGHT" "LIGHT" and "SIGHT" and one of those will probably be the solution — though this is also a famous way to end up losing in Wordle, particularly if you play on "hard mode." In Quordle, however, this sort of single-letter winnowing is a deadly trap, and it hints at the important strategic difference between Wordle and Quordle: In Quordle, you can't afford to waste guesses unless you're eliminating as many letters as possible at all times.

Guessing a completely random word that you already know isn't the solution, just to eliminate three or four possible letters you haven't tried yet, is thought of as a desperate, latch-ditch move in Wordle. In Quordle, however, it's a normal part of the player's strategic toolset.
Is there a way to get the answer faster?
In my experience Quordle can be a slow game, sometimes dragging out longer than it would take to play Wordle four times. But a sort of blunt-force guessing approach can speed things up. The following strategy also works with Wordle if you only want the solution, and don't care about having the fewest possible guesses:
Try starting with a series of words that puts all the vowels (including Y) on the board, along with some other common letters. We've had good luck with the three words: "NOTES," "ACRID," and "LUMPY." YouTuber DougMansLand suggests four words: "CANOE," "SKIRT," "PLUMB," and "FUDGY."
Most of the alphabet is now eliminated, and you'll only have the ability to make one or two wrong guesses if you use this strategy. But in most cases you'll have all the information you need to guess the remaining words without any wrong guesses.
If strategy isn't helping, and you're still stumped, here are some hints:

Thursday, July 25th
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
The best way to solve your current dilemma is to approach it from a completely different angle. The old ways are not always the best ways and with the Sun moving through the most dynamic area of your chart you must be willing to experiment.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
If you need to find a way out of some sort of commitment then Mercury's change of sign today will no doubt give you some interesting ideas. But here's a better idea: having made a promise, albeit a loose one, why not try keeping it?
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
What seems of massive importance to other people today will seem trivial in the extreme to you but if you are smart you will keep your opinion about it to yourself for the time being. They will come round to your way of thinking soon enough.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
You need to find a way to turn your dreams into dollars and what occurs between now and the weekend will throw up some interesting ideas. You must though be selective. Focus on the idea that grabs you the most and give it 100 per cent.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
You will be on inspired form now that the Sun is moving through your sign and one of the things you will be most inspired about is making money. Mercury in the financial area of your chart will bring opportunities to make some decent bucks.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
The only thing that matters now is that the facts of a particular situation are all on your side and because of that you don't have to give ground to anyone. A little bit of mental stubbornness will go a long way towards winning the argument.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Unless you intend to carry them out there is no point making threats – and since when have you been the sort to throw your weight around? If others won't do what they have an obligation to do then simply end your association and move on.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
You may or may not be inspired by the pursuit of fame and fortune but you will get your share of opportunities to excel over the next few weeks. Whatever your motivation, aim to be the best at what you do, the undisputed Number One.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
Your ability to see things that rivals have missed will put you in a good position between now and the weekend. Use that ability to plan ahead so you are the one most likely to benefit from the changes that are clearly (to you) on the way.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
No matter what the rational part of your mind may tell you today you must listen to your feelings as well. There is a deeper part of you that can sense when something is so obviously right that it cannot be ignored, whatever your logic circuits may say!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Don't let everyday matters distract you from more important objectives. You may have to close your ears to the kind of people, even some of your friends, who never seem to stop chattering and gossiping but it will be worth it in the long-term.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
You must not allow anyone, no matter how well-intentioned or how much you respect them, to tell you that certain things cannot be said and certain topics are out of bounds. You have a mind of your own and have every right to express yourself.
BIRTHDAY THURSDAY:
Mercury's influence on your birthday will help you work out what you should be doing to bring the most happiness into your life. Don't worry if your ideas of success and other people's ideas of success don't match up. What they think is of no importance.

Why are there two different Wordle answers some days?
Though usually Wordle will only accept one correct solution per day, occasionally it has rebelled against the norm and deem two different answers acceptable. This is due to changes the New York Times made to Wordle after it acquired the puzzle game.
