Quordle continues to be a brain-tickling favorite among word game enthusiasts who crave more than just a single-word puzzle like Wordle. With four five-letter words to guess within nine attempts, Quordle keeps its players on their toes every day. If you’re stuck on today’s game or just need a helping hand to boost your solving streak, we’ve got you covered with strategic hints and full answers to Game #1179, played on Thursday, April 17, 2025.
What is Quordle?
For those unfamiliar, Quordle is a word puzzle game inspired by Wordle but with an exciting twist—players must solve four five-letter words simultaneously using the same set of guesses. Each word is hidden in its own grid, and with each typed guess, clues are revealed across all four grids. The colors indicate correctness—green for the right letter in the right place, yellow for the right letter in the wrong place, and gray for letters not in the word at all.
Players get nine tries to uncover all four words, making Quordle more challenging and thrilling than its predecessor.
Today’s Quordle Hints #1179
Before diving into the answers, let’s go through a few well-placed hints to give you a fighting chance without giving too much away. These clues should help you strategize and make smarter guesses.
Hint #1: Vowel Clue
Today’s Quordle puzzle contains four different vowels across the four answers. This means A, E, I, O, and U are all actively present, except for one. Make sure to consider a mix of vowels in your starting guesses like AUDIO, REACT, or ALONE to quickly identify what vowels are at play.
Hint #2: Repeated Letters?
None of today’s answers contain any repeated letters. This is a rare occurrence and might actually make your life a little easier—once you identify a letter, you can be confident it doesn’t appear more than once in the same word.
Hint #3: Uncommon Letters?
You won’t find the often tricky and less-used letters Q, Z, X, or J in any of today’s words. That rules out a bunch of harder guesses and allows you to focus on more common consonants like T, R, S, and L.
Hint #4: Double Starters
Interestingly, two of today’s words start with the same letter. This hint can be particularly helpful in narrowing down options if you’ve already discovered a starting letter in one puzzle and see it showing up in another.
Hint #5: First Letters of Each Word
Need a big nudge? Here are the starting letters for all four words in Quordle #1179:
- Word 1 starts with S
- Word 2 starts with R
- Word 3 starts with S
- Word 4 starts with C
Quordle Answers for Game #1179 (April 17, 2025)
If you’re still stuck or just want to check your answers, here are the correct solutions for Quordle Game #1179:
- SPRAY
- RAMEN
- SHELF
- COURT
Each word today leans on more commonly used vocabulary, although some like RAMEN might trip up players who are more inclined toward traditional English words. SPRAY and SHELF are straightforward but could still pose a challenge if you miss the right vowels or starting letters early on.
Daily Sequence Answers for April 17, 2025
If you’re also playing the Daily Sequence version of Quordle, where you solve one word at a time rather than all four simultaneously, today’s sequence puzzle solutions are:
- COBRA
- FLUKE
- DRIED
- SPIEL
This set is arguably a bit more difficult than the main Quordle answers, especially with curveballs like FLUKE and SPIEL, which might be harder to pin down without strategic guesse.
Strategy Tip: Improve Your Quordle Game
To improve your game over time, consider these strategies:
- Start with a vowel-heavy word like AUDIO or OCEAN.
- Use a second guess that covers common consonants (like TREND or SPLIT) if the first doesn’t yield much.
- Always cross-check each grid after every guess.
- Keep track of letter positions—don’t ignore green and yellow tiles!
Playing Quordle consistently improves your vocabulary and your pattern recognition skills. It’s a great mix of logic and language mastery.
Final Thoughts
Quordle #1179 wasn’t the hardest of the bunch, but it did have a few quirks that made it interesting—two words beginning with “S,” a delicious RAMEN surprise, and no repeating letters. Even if you didn’t ace it today, each game is a new opportunity to sharpen your word-guessing skills.
