Happy Monday, puzzle solvers! It’s a brand new day and that means a fresh Quordle is here to test your word-wrangling skills. If today’s Quordle (#1197) is giving you a tough time, don’t worry — you’re not alone! I’ve got your back with carefully crafted hints, vowel clues, repeated letter info, and even the full answers (if you scroll far enough).
So whether you’re just starting or staring at your sixth guess, let’s dive into today’s Quordle puzzle and crack all four words together.
What is Quordle Again?
For the uninitiated, Quordle is like Wordle on expert mode. Instead of guessing one five-letter word, you have to guess four — simultaneously — in nine attempts. Each word you guess applies to all four puzzles, which makes deduction and letter placement strategy extra important.
If you’re a Wordle fan ready for more of a challenge, Quordle is where the fun begins.

Quordle Today (Game #1197) –
Hint #1 – Vowels
How many different vowels appear across today’s words?
Four different vowels appear across the solutions today.
That should help you focus on vowel-rich guess words early in the game. Think about mixing A, E, I, O, and U into your first couple of guesses.
Hint #2 – Repeated Letters
Are there any repeated letters in today’s Quordle answers?
➡️ Yes — one word contains a repeated letter.
Watch out for tricky words like “SHEEP” or “QUEUE” — words where a single letter appears twice (or even more!).
Hint #3 – Uncommon Letters
Do any rare letters like Q, Z, X, or J appear today?
➡️ Yes — one of today’s words contains one of those uncommon letters.
Keep an eye on words with Q or J, especially if the others feel too easy. It could throw off your rhythm!
Hint #4 – Starting Letters (1)
Do any words today start with the same letter?
➡️ Nope! All four words begin with different letters.
That’s good news for diversity — your early guesses should cover as many starting consonants as possible.
Hint #5 – Starting Letters (2)
What letters do the answers start with?
➡️The starting letters today are:
- W
- S
- Q
Now we’re really getting somewhere. Think of strong five-letter words that start with these and align with the other clues.
Daily Quordle Strategy Tip
Stuck on your first few guesses? Try beginning with solid starter words like:
- SLATE
- CRANE
- STORM
- QUICK
These words cover a wide variety of common consonants and vowels, and might even help hit a few correct spots early on.
Also, don’t forget that all your guesses apply across all four words. That means every word you enter should be strategic — no random stabs!

Quordle Answers for Game #1197 (May 5, 2025)
If you’re out of guesses or ready to confirm your suspicions, here’s the big reveal. SPOILER ALERT — the answers to today’s Quordle are:
- WREAK
- COWER
- STEAD
- QUEUE
That final word — QUEUE — is often a tricky one with repeated Es and U, not to mention the rare Q. If that tripped you up, you’re not alone.
WREAK was deceptive too. Many players guess “BREAK” or “FREAK” first. Did that happen to you?
