Wordle hint and answer #643: Friday, March 24
‘Quordle’ today: Here are the answers and hints for March 24
If Quordle is a little too challenging today, you’ve come to the right place for hints. There aren’t just hints here, but the whole Quordle solution. Scroll to the bottom of this page, and there it is. But are you sure you need all four answers? Maybe you just need a strategy guide. Either way, scroll down, and you’ll get what you need.
What is Quordle?
Quordle is a five-letter word guessing game similar to Wordle, except each guess applies letters to four words at the same time. You get nine guesses instead of six to correctly guess all four words. It looks like playing four Wordle games at the same time, and that is essentially what it is. But it’s not nearly as intimidating as it sounds.
Is Quordle harder than Wordle?
Yes, though not diabolically so.
Where did Quordle come from?
Amid the Wordle boom of late 2021 and early 2022, when everyone was learning to love free, in-browser, once-a-day word guessing games, creator Freddie Meyer says he took inspiration from one of the first big Wordle variations, Dordle — the one where you essentially play two Wordles at once. He took things up a notch, and released Quordle on January 30. Meyer’s creation was covered in The Guardian six days later, and now, according to Meyer, it attracts millions of daily users. Today, Meyer earns modest revenue from Patreon, where dedicated Quordle fans can donate to keep their favorite puzzle game running.
How is Quordle pronounced?
“Kwordle.” It should rhyme with “Wordle,” and definitely should not be pronounced exactly like “curdle.”
Is Quordle strategy different from Wordle?
Yes and no.
Your starting strategy should be the same as with Wordle. In fact, if you have a favorite Wordle opening word, there’s no reason to change that here. We suggest something rich in vowels, featuring common letters like C, R, and N. But you do you.
After your first guess, however, you’ll notice things getting out of control if you play Quordle exactly like Wordle.
What should I do in Quordle that I don’t do in Wordle?
Solving a Wordle puzzle can famously come down to a series of single letter-change variations. If you’ve narrowed it down to “-IGHT,” you could guess “MIGHT” “NIGHT” “LIGHT” and “SIGHT” and one of those will probably be the solution — though this is also a famous way to end up losing in Wordle, particularly if you play on “hard mode.” In Quordle, however, this sort of single-letter winnowing is a deadly trap, and it hints at the important strategic difference between Wordle and Quordle: In Quordle, you can’t afford to waste guesses unless you’re eliminating as many letters as possible at all times.
Guessing a completely random word that you already know isn’t the solution, just to eliminate three or four possible letters you haven’t tried yet, is thought of as a desperate, latch-ditch move in Wordle. In Quordle, however, it’s a normal part of the player’s strategic toolset.
Is there a way to get the answer faster?
In my experience Quordle can be a slow game, sometimes dragging out longer than it would take to play Wordle four times. But a sort of blunt-force guessing approach can speed things up. The following strategy also works with Wordle if you only want the solution, and don’t care about having the fewest possible guesses:
Try starting with a series of words that puts all the vowels (including Y) on the board, along with some other common letters. We’ve had good luck with the three words: “NOTES,” “ACRID,” and “LUMPY.” YouTuber DougMansLand suggests four words: “CANOE,” “SKIRT,” “PLUMB,” and “FUDGY.”
Most of the alphabet is now eliminated, and you’ll only have the ability to make one or two wrong guesses if you use this strategy. But in most cases you’ll have all the information you need to guess the remaining words without any wrong guesses.
If strategy isn’t helping, and you’re still stumped, here are some hints:
Are there any double or triple letters in today’s Quordle words?
Two words have twice-occurring letters.
Are any rare letters being used in today’s Quordle like Q or Z?
No.
What do today’s Quordle words start with?
C, A, B, and T.
What are the answers for today’s Quordle?

-
COUCH

APRON
-

24 Killers is too likeable to cheapen with genre labels
I rarely enjoy adventure games, and in fact resent them for pinning that term for a genre that almost never feels adventurous. And yet I don’t quite want to say that 24 Killers is an exception, because confining it to any genre feels reductive, let alone one that will probably put you off if you’re anything like me.
It’s a tiny bit like a Stardew Valley or Gleaner Heights, or any of those “do chores until you run out of energy” games, but mostly it’s a “hanging out and being slightly weird” game.
I did a huge spring break bikini haul – I got 24 dream pieces from a Skims rival for just $15 a set
A COLLEGE student got a sweet deal when she purchased 24 spring break bikinis from her favorite swimwear brand.
Sammy K who goes by @skzzolno on Tik-Tok and Youtube, finally got her hands on bikinis from the popular swimwear brand Hoaka.

The Tik-Toker purchased 24 pieces from Hoaka Swimwear[/caption]
The Tik-Toker shared her giant bikini haul with fellow spring breakers in hopes of encouraging people to buy the things that make them happy.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited to pick up a package in my entire life,” she stated at the beginning of the haul.
Sammy claims that she has been wanting to buy bikinis from Hoaka for 3 years, but steep prices prevented her from doing so.
“Prices for the bikini together was like 70-80 dollars, and I’m like I just can’t justify that. Spending that much money on one bikini, ” she said.
However, as spring break neared, she decided to check the swimwear’s site once more and found that the prices were drastically reduced.
“They are so cheap, it was like 15 dollars for a bikini top and bottom,” she boasted.
Sammy didn’t hold back.
She purchased 24 pieces that ranged in style and color.
She first showed off a dinosaur printed bando top and bikini bottom.
Next came a royal blue top with a white zipper and 2 different options for bottoms.
A quick shot of all of the bikinis together shows that Sammy mixed and matched several tops and bottoms.
Some Tik-Tok users encouraged a try-on video to which Sammy responded with, “no bc men.”
Others expressed their shared obsession with the brand.
“OMG i remember wanting these so bad a couple years ago!!!,” one follower wrote.
Another said, “just ordered some”
Hoaka Swimwear is a Canadian swimwear brand founded by Elisabeth Rioux.
The brand is known for their high-quality neoprene and eco friendly swimwear.

Will Apple switch the iPhone to eSIM-only everywhere by ’24?
With the arrival of the iPhone 14, Apple has only sold smartphones with eSIM support in the US. But that may be about to change. At least one analyst thinks Apple plans to extend eSIM use to Europe and some Asian markets by next year, when SIMs will be removed from its devices.
eSIM for the rest of us?
We’ve expected the move since Apple began with eSIM inside the iPhone in 2018, though consumers have complained at the complexity of setup in the US. In part, these challenges reflect inconsistent approaches to the tech across mobile carriers, but there could be a reason for that — particularly if Apple and Google begin to try to monetize carrier choice on new devices.
