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.

I've been playing this for a couple weeks now and have really enjoyed it. Well done!

Thank you! I am very glad you are enjoying it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nice, but seems to use a fairly restrictive word list compared to other games; might make it more attractive to some people as I have friends who say that "ZA" sums up everything wrong with scrabble in one word...

Thanks for the feedback! Do you mean in the square itself or the possible guess words? Tried to calibrate the square itself for a good balance between challenge and reasonably common words.

Not the GP, but “April” isn’t in the word list.

As many of you I took a jab at a wordle solver. That wasn't so hard. Then I said, how can I guarantee as a human, I win, in 6 moves almost 100% of the time? "Quick Brown Fox", as in, use as many possible letters in the alphabet, comprised of 5 letter words, given that we have only 5 words to play with. That gives us 25 characters to use. I came up with BLOCK VENTS JUMPY DWARF GHAZI this leaves out Q and X, which is f…

True, if you are only shooting to solve it in 9 then it can be easy with the right strategy. But many in our friend group are no longer satisfied with 9 and want 7 or fewer guesses :)

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!

It's really cool! one small request: Can you switch the colors for "guessed, not in word" and "not guessed yet" letters on the keyboard? It's opposite from the original and makes it confusing.

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 see you played the same meta-game that I did. It took me a few tries, but I ended up with: WHISK, FRONT, GLADE, BUMPY.

Probably not in the spirit of the game, but once you have 20 distinct letters, it is normally quite easy to find the solution.

Of all the variants I've come across so far, I think this one has the most staying power. I think I might prefer it to the original. I do kind of wish you got one more guess, though, especially if you get stuck, like I did today, having 4 Greens but 5 possibilities for the final letter.

If you sometimes fail, I feel the balance (for you) is right =)

Really nice but... surely 'Squardle'? :-)

I am working on tweaking the keyboard to be more clear so stay tuned for updates very soon around this!
