Earlier quoted context omitted.

Mine are SHIRT, WOMEN, BLACK, PUDGY. I like that order as it hits most of the high-frequency letters up front to enable the odd early snipe.

Well if we're sharing mine are: SPINE, WORLD, THUMB, and JACKY.

I just start with ANISE and go from there.

Maybe this takes the fun out of it, but with Quordle, I've had great success with: TUBES FLING CHAMP WORDY With those, I've always completed all four...

I find it quite easy to beat Quordle so the challenge I aim for is trying to get all four words within six guesses. Managed it three times since yesterday. Requires some riskier tactics so it eventually broke my 30+ game streak.

I like this one. I've been playing it a lot the last few days. Is it just me, or is it immensely more difficult than Wordle? I think I only get all 4 correct maybe 25% of the time.

I find it easier. My Wordle streak is 50+ (no fails yet and only one six). I was sent Quordle yesterday and got a streak of 30+ before I started trying to get the quartet in six lines which is a good challenge.

Fun! I made one with a 5x5 square of letters, containing five words down and five across: https://squareword.org/ A bit like a combination of crosswords and Wordle, as vertical words can be used for additional clues.

Nice job!

One thing, I don't like that plurals are possible answers. The original let you guess plurals but no answers were plurals.

Hi everyone I am the creator of Quordle and I am glad that people are enjoying playing it :) I also appreciate all the feedback and I am looking to improve the experience when playing on desktop! You can follow the @quordle Twitter for updates as well!

Which word dictionary did you use? I tried coding my own but was surprised as how messy all the dictionaries are.

Not OP but for my Wordle clone I used this, with some minimal manual pruning to my taste:

4 states x 5 letters x 9 guesses is only 180 possible stoplight strings (of green/yellow/gray/black), if I'm doing my math right? So you could just pick 180 emoji and use four of them :)

I thought about this as well, but sadly, last I checked some decently popular apps (Twitter, WhatsApp, some others) don't support emojis in URL paths, only in domain names. So the emoji technique could work for message threads in some apps, but it would look pretty strange in others. (I've been helping @DungZeekFu a bit with Quordle and am curious for any ideas around this though!)

Maybe make it so the emoji are shared without a URL, and anyone can paste the emoji into some place on the site to recreate the grids?
