Another day, another Quordle challenge. If today’s four-word puzzle is testing your patience, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Whether you’re here for a nudge in the right direction or the whole solution, you’ll find what you need below. Just be warned: spoilers lie ahead. But first, a quick refresher for newcomers and a strategic tip or two for veterans looking to sharpen their game.
What Is Quordle, Exactly?
If you’ve mastered Wordle and are ready for a level-up, Quordle is your next logical stop. Think of it as Wordle on expert mode: you’re trying to guess four five-letter words at the same time, using the same set of guesses. You’ve got nine tries — more than Wordle’s six — but you’ll need all of them if you want to crack the puzzle cleanly.
Launched in early 2022 by Freddie Meyer, Quordle was inspired by Dordle (which doubled up the Wordle challenge) and quickly gained popularity. Today, it boasts millions of players worldwide and even has a Patreon-supported model to keep the game free and running.

Start smart. A good opening word makes all the difference. In Quordle, it’s even more important to cover ground quickly. You want to uncover vowels, common consonants, and possible word structures. “NOTES,” “ACRID,” and “LUMPY” is a popular starting trio for a reason — it reveals a huge portion of the alphabet and provides a solid foundation.
Another method? Try DougMansLand’s four-word strategy: “CANOE,” “SKIRT,” “PLUMB,” and “FUDGY.” Between those, you’ll test most vowels, tricky letters like Y, and essential consonants.
Unlike Wordle, it’s not wasteful to guess a word you know isn’t the answer — if it helps you eliminate letters. In Quordle, every letter placed (or ruled out) counts double — or quadruple, really.
Today’s Quordle Hints for June 21
If you just need a few clues to get going, here’s your gentle nudge:
- Starting letters: Today’s words begin with B, T, L, and R.
- Double letters? Yes — one word includes a letter that appears twice.
- Rare letters? Nope. No Q, Z, X, or other oddballs today.
- Tone and type? Today’s puzzle includes a proper noun, a punctuation-related word, a verb, and a descriptive term. Not too obscure — but not all easy.

Today’s Quordle Answers for June 21
Alright, spoilers incoming. Ready?
Today’s Quordle answers are:
- BRIDE
- TILDE
- LOWER
- REVEL
Let’s break it down.
BRIDE likely tripped people up if they didn’t get the “I” early. A classic five-letter noun, often guessable with common letter sets.
TILDE is the outlier — how often do you use punctuation marks in conversation? If “LDE” was visible, you might’ve swung between “WILDE” and “TILDE.”
LOWER was probably a relief: a solid verb, no unusual letters, and one you could easily guess once the “L,” “O,” and “E” were on the board.
REVEL might’ve been the final boss. That sneaky repeated “E” combined with “V” can delay you — unless you were already playing with party-themed words.

Final Thoughts
If today’s words pushed your limits, remember this: Quordle rewards wide thinking and risk-taking. Don’t be afraid to guess broadly early on to get a feel for the field. The sooner you eliminate rare letters, the better your odds of saving guesses for the tricky final words.
And if you didn’t win today? That’s okay. There’s always tomorrow — and we’ll be here with more hints, strategy, and full answers if you need them.
