What Is Quordle?
If you’re new to the Quordle party, here’s the scoop: Quordle is a Wordle spin-off that ups the ante by asking players to guess four five-letter words at the same time. You get nine tries to uncover all four words—and with more words comes more strategy.

Today’s Quordle Hints for May 8, 2025
Before we dive into the answers, here are a few helpful clues to guide your guesses.
Hint 1 – How Many Vowels Today?
Today’s Quordle answers contain a total of four different vowels:
- A
- E
- I
- O
(Note: We’re only counting the main five vowels here. Y is excluded.)
Hint 2 – Are There Repeated Letters?
Yes—and not just one. All four of today’s answers include repeated letters. That’s quite rare and certainly ups the difficulty.
Hint 3 – Uncommon Letters (Q, Z, X, J)?
Nope! None of today’s solutions include Q, Z, X, or J, so you can safely avoid guessing these uncommon letters.
Hint 4 – Do Any Start With the Same Letter?
Yes. Two of today’s words start with the same letter.
Hint 5 – Starting Letters for Each Word:
Need a stronger push? Here’s your final nudge before the answers:
- The first word starts with E
- The second word starts with G
- The third word starts with P
- The fourth word also starts with E
If you’re close and just need one last guess, now’s the time to put that knowledge to work.

Tips to Improve at Quordle
Whether you struggled today or crushed it in five moves, here are a few tips to help boost your Quordle performance:
- Start with a strategic word that includes multiple vowels and common consonants (e.g., AUDIO, SLATE, CRANE).
- Watch for repeated letters. Today was the perfect example of why you should consider doubling up letters in your guesses.
- Focus on letter positioning. If a letter turns yellow or green, use that info wisely in the next word.
- Don’t panic if you’re stuck. Sometimes it helps to mentally reset with a new guess that targets a different set of letters.
