It's time to get your daily dose of Quordle hints, plus answers for both the main game and the Daily Sequence spin-off.
Quordle is the only one of the many Wordle clones that I still play now, more than two years after the daily word game craze hit the Internet, and with good reason: it's fun, but also difficult.
What's more, its creators (now the online dictionary Merriam-Webster) also keep it up to date in the form of a variant called Daily Sequence, in which you must complete four puzzles consecutively, rather than at the same time.
But Quordle is hard, so if you're already looking for today's Wordle answer, you'll probably need some hints for this game too.
I'm a fan of Quordle and Wordle and have been playing since December 2021, so I can definitely help you solve Quordle today and improve your game for tomorrow. Read on for my Quordle tips for game #788 and answers to the main game and daily sequence.

Quordle FAQ – Everything you need to know
What is Quordle?
While Wordle challenges you to guess a new five-letter word each day, Quordle presents you with four riddles to solve. And instead of completing them one by one, she does it simultaneously. You get nine guesses, instead of Wordle's six, but otherwise the rules are very similar.
It is played online through Quordle website and you can also access it through the Merriam-Webster site, after the dictionary bought Quordle last year.
As with Wordle, the answers are the same for all players every day, which means you are competing against the rest of the world. And just like with Wordle, the puzzle resets at midnight so you have a new challenge every day.
The website also includes a practice mode, which I definitely recommend using before trying to play the game itself! – and there are daily stats including a streak count. You also earn Quordle achievements: specific badges for winning a game in a certain number of turns, playing multiple times, or guessing particularly difficult words.
Oh, and it's difficult. Really difficult.
What are the Quordle rules?
Quordle's rules are almost identical to Wordle's.
1. The letters that are in the answer and in the correct place turn green.
2. Letters that are in the answer but in the wrong place turn yellow.
3. Letters that are not in the answer turn gray…
4. …BUT the word you guess appears in all quadrants of the puzzle at the same time, so an A could turn green in one square, yellow in another, and gray in the last two.
5. The answers are never plural.
6. Letters may appear more than once. So if your guess includes two of a letter, they can both turn yellow, both green, or one could be yellow and the other green.
7. Each guess must be a valid word in the Quordle dictionary. You can't guess ABCDE, for example.
8. There is no need to include the correct letters in subsequent guesses and there is no equivalent to Wordle's hard mode.
9. You have nine guesses to find the Quordle answers.
10. You must complete the Daily Quordle before midnight in your time zone.
What is a good Quordle strategy?
Quordle should be approached in a different way than Wordle. With four puzzles to solve in nine guesses, you can't blindly throw letters at it and expect to win; You will have many more possibilities if you think strategically.
That's also the case in Wordle, of course, but it's even more important in Quordle.
There are two key things to remember.
1. Use several seed words.
First of all, you don't want a single initial word, but it almost certainly two or three initial words.
The first of these should probably be one of Wordle's best opening words, because the same things that make them work well will apply here as well. But after that, you need to select another word or possibly two that use many more common consonants and include the remaining vowels.
For example, I currently use STARE > DOILY > PUNCH. Between them, these three words use 15 of the 26 letters of the alphabet, including the five vowels, Y, and nine of the most common consonants (S, T, R, D, L, P, N, C and H). There are many other options – you may want to include an M, B, F or G instead of the H, perhaps, but something like this should work.
If all goes well, that will give you a good idea of what one or sometimes two of the answers might be. If not, good luck!
2. Limit things
Second, if you are faced with a word whose answer could easily be one of several options (for example, -ATCH, where it could be MATCH, BATCH, LATCH, CATCH, WATCH, HATCH, or PATCH), you will definitely want to guess a word that Narrow down those options.
In Wordle, you can try several of them in succession and hope that one is correct, assuming you have enough guesses left. It's risky, but sometimes it works. Also, it is the only option in hard mode. But in Quordle, this will almost certainly result in failure: you simply don't have enough guesses.
In the above scenario, CLAMP would be a good guess, as it could point the way to four of the seven words in one go.
