Some helpful tips to ace the game

Players are presented with grids in which they are supposed to enter letters. Depending on the accuracy of the letters entered, the tiles change colors. If players enter accurate letters, the tile color changes to green. In case they enter a letter that belongs to the word but has not been entered in the right place, the tile color changes to yellow. However, if players enter inaccurate letters, the tile color changes to gray.

Players should avoid entering gray-tiled letters as they do not belong to any word. They can also get close to guessing accurate letters by remembering some tips and tricks. The game often gives words with repetitive letters, and words ending with Y. Such words can be adjectives, non-adjectives or nouns. Quordle also gives words in different tenses. These words can end with Ed or Ing.

The game can be a bit challenging for new players. However, it offers a practice mode that helps them get better at the game instead of waiting 24 hours for the new game.
