Struggling with today’s Quordle puzzle? You’re in the right place. We’ve got hints, strategy tips, and — if you’re really stuck — today’s full answer list for Quordle #509, June 19.
What is Quordle?
If you’re new here, Quordle is a popular word-guessing game — and a far more challenging cousin of Wordle. Instead of guessing one word in six tries, you’re solving four five-letter words simultaneously, all within nine guesses. Each word grid shares the same guesses, which makes things a little chaotic… and a lot of fun.
Think of it like playing four Wordles at once, with overlapping information.
What makes Quordle tougher is how your guesses affect all four puzzles at once. You can’t just focus on one word at a time like you can in Wordle. Each guess must be chosen carefully to maximize information across all four grids. That said, it’s very satisfying when it all clicks together.
Where Did Quordle Come From?
Quordle was created by Freddie Meyer, inspired by another Wordle variant called Dordle, which lets players solve two Wordles at once. Meyer took things further and launched Quordle in January 2022. Just six days later, The Guardian covered the game, and it quickly found an audience of daily puzzle lovers.
Quordle has been going strong ever since, attracting millions of daily players. Meyer monetizes the game through Patreon, where fans can contribute to support the game’s upkeep.

How Do You Pronounce Quordle?
It rhymes with Wordle — “Kwordle.” Please don’t say it like “curdle.” That’s just wrong.
Quordle Strategy Tips
Let’s face it: you can’t play Quordle the same way you play Wordle.
While your starting word can stay the same — ideally something filled with vowels and common consonants (like “SLATE” or “CRANE”) — your strategy needs to adapt fast.
Here are a few key strategy tips:
- Don’t waste guesses narrowing down a single word.
- Use early guesses to cover as many letters as possible.
- Try deliberate “burn guesses” — words that you know won’t be the answer but will help eliminate multiple possibilities.
- Focus on eliminating ambiguous endings, like “-IGHT,” “-OUND,” etc.
- Work top to bottom: Once one grid is nearly solved, use it as your anchor and apply new letters to the others.
Best Starting Words for Quordle
Some popular multi-word strategies:
- “NOTES,” “ACRID,” “LUMPY”
- “CANOE,” “SKIRT,” “PLUMB,” “FUDGY”
These combos help reveal most vowels and common consonants, reducing the guesswork later in the puzzle.
