Another day, another mind-bending round of Quordle! If you’ve made solving this daily word puzzle a part of your morning ritual, you’re not alone. Today’s Quordle (#1176) brings its usual mix of challenge and satisfaction. Whether you’re a long-time player keeping a flawless streak or someone new trying to get the hang of it, we’ve got you covered with all the hints and answers you need for today.
What is Quordle?
For the uninitiated, Quordle is a word game that builds upon the format of Wordle, but with a twist: instead of guessing one five-letter word, you must simultaneously solve four. You have nine guesses to figure out all four words, and each guess applies across all four boards. It’s a game of strategy, vocabulary, and pattern recognition—and it’s been winning over players since its launch.
Hint #1: Vowel Count
One of the first steps in solving Quordle is understanding how many different vowels appear in the puzzle. In today’s puzzle, there are three different vowels spread across the four answers. Keep an eye out for combinations involving A, E, and O, as these are the main vowels featured today.
Hint #2: Repeated Letters
Repeated letters can make a word more challenging to guess, especially when they appear in uncommon positions. For Quordle #1176, only one of the four words contains a repeated letter. If you find yourself stuck, try plugging the same letter into multiple positions to see if a word forms.
Hint #3: Uncommon Letters
Sometimes words are made trickier due to rare letters like Q, Z, X, or J. But you can breathe easy today—none of these uncommon letters appear in any of today’s Quordle answers. That makes things a little simpler, allowing you to focus on more commonly used letters.
Hint #4: Starting Letters Breakdown
Wondering if any of today’s Quordle words start with the same letter? That can help you narrow down guesses. Interestingly, each word starts with a unique letter today. Here are the starting letters of each:
- D
- C
- A
- L
With no repeated initial letters, each puzzle grid needs individual attention.
Quordle Today’s Answers
All right, if you’ve given it a good shot or just can’t bear to lose your streak, here are the answers for today’s Quordle puzzle:
- DRAWL
- CROOK
- ACTOR
- LANCE
Let’s briefly walk through the thought process behind each one:
- DRAWL: This word might have stumped some players. It refers to a slow, lazy way of speaking, typically associated with Southern U.S. accents. If you guessed “WRALD” and shuffled around those letters, you may have landed on this one quickly.
- CROOK: A more common word, especially in the context of crime. It includes a repeated “O,” which might have thrown some off track. Starting with “CR” likely brought you close if you guessed words like “CRISP” or “CROSS.”
- ACTOR: A familiar word that’s straightforward if you were able to identify “A” and “R” in the right places. Eliminating guesses like “ROAST” or “RATIO” might have brought you here eventually.
- LANCE: A medieval weapon, but also a modern name. A solid guess if you identified “L” and “E” early. It pairs common consonants with a straightforward structure.
