Quordle #106 answers for today: Tuesday, May 10

Quordle continues to have an ironclad grip on word enthusiasts three months after its release.

Ever since Josh Wardle conceptualized Wordle during the pandemic in October 2021, the game has reached record levels of virality. It was almost inescapable in the first months of this year, even prompting a seven-figure deal acquisition by the revered The New York Times.

Since Wordle only offers one mystery word to guess per day, it wasn't long before wordsmiths began hunting for other alternatives to quench their thirst. In tandem with the demand, there hasn't been any shortage of spin-offs in the Wordle variants market.

These iterations span a vast range of niches from music (Heardle), films (Moviedle), crosswords (Crosswordle), and more.

Quordle doesn't deviate much from Wordle's original simplicity. But it does kick up the difficulty level a notch, challenging players to guess four words simultaneously within nine chances or less. For those still relatively new to this variant, the game also offers an unlimited practice mode to polish their skills.
