Quordle #253 hints and answers for today: Tuesday, October 4

Quordle, the popular word game, has been around for over eight months now, and attracts new players every day. The game was launched shortly after the word-game Wordle became popular. Quordle was designed to be four times more challenging than Wordle, which inspired the game. As intended, the game requires players to guess four words in nine attempts or less.

The game presents players with grids in which they are supposed to enter letters. Depending on the accuracy of the letters entered, the tiles change colors. For accurate letters, the tiles change to green. For letters that belong to the word but have not been entered in the right place, the tile color changes to yellow. The tile color changes to gray when the letter entered is incorrect.

Players must avoid entering such letters in future attempts as they will not belong to the word in that grid. Players can also remember some tricks before guessing the word Quordle has given them. The game often gives words with repetitive letters. These letters can either be in continuous or non-continuous positions.

Sometimes, Quordle gives words which end with a Y. Such words can be adjectives, non-adjectives or nouns. The game also tends to give words with consonants including W or Z. The game, more often than not, will give words that have vowels.
