Hey there, word nerds! Welcome to your daily dose of Quordle help. If you’ve already had your coffee and are ready to give your brain a workout, let’s get into today’s puzzle. Whether you’re a seasoned Quordler or new to the game, I’ve got everything you need—hints, answers, and a little strategic advice.
How To Play Quordle
For those just tuning in: Quordle is like Wordle’s more intense cousin. You’re tasked with solving four five-letter words at once, using a single set of guesses. You’ve got nine tries to solve them all. Each word grid reacts to your guess independently:
- A letter in the correct spot shows up green
- A correct letter in the wrong spot turns yellow
- Letters that don’t appear in any of the words stay gray
It’s part logic, part luck, and totally addictive.
Pro Tip: Try starting with a strong first word—something with lots of vowels and common consonants. “SLATE” or “CRANE” are popular openers.

Today’s Wordle Answer for May 10, 2025
Last chance to turn back if you’re not ready for spoilers!
All set? Here are the Quordle answers for Saturday, May 10:
- RELIC – Something old and sacred, often preserved from the past.
- BADGE – A token of honor, office, or identification.
- CHAMP – Short for champion, the winner of a contest or competition.
- SATIN – A smooth, glossy fabric often used in elegant clothing.
Today’s Puzzle Breakdown
Let’s reflect on today’s grid. None of the answers had repeated letters, making it slightly easier for pattern recognition. “RELIC” and “BADGE” might have tripped up some players due to their less-common letter placement (that sneaky “C” in “RELIC” and the soft “G” in “BADGE”).
“CHAMP” is one of those words that you either get right away or need a few clues to land on—it’s short, punchy, and uses common letters, but the “P” can be a curveball if you’re not expecting it.
As for “SATIN,” it was probably the most elegant of the bunch. If you’re a fan of 60s music, the hint about “Nights in White Satin” might have helped it click into place.
