Today's Quordle Hints (and Answer) for Wednesday, June 11, 2025
If you're looking for the Quordle answer for Wednesday, June 11, 2025, read on—I'll share some clues, tips, and strategies, and finally the solution. Beware, there are spoilers below for June 11, Quordle #1234! Keep scrolling if you want some hints (and then the answer) to today's Quordle game. (If you play Wordle, Connections, and Strands, check out our hints for those games, too.)
How to play Quordle
Quordle lives on the Merriam-Webster website. A new puzzle goes live every day. If you've never played, it's a twist on The New York Times' daily Wordle game, in which you have a limited number of attempts to guess a five-letter mystery word. In Quordle, though, you're simultaneously solving four Wordle-style puzzles, and each of your guesses gets applied to the four puzzles simultaneously. Due to the increased difficulty, Quordle grants you nine guesses (12 if you play on 'Chill' mode, or eight if you play on 'Extreme'), rather than Wordle's six.
To start, guess a five-letter word. The letters of the word in each of the four quadrants will turn green if they're correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isn't in that secret word at all.

How I solved today's Quordle
I kick things off with SLATE, which is a good start. Maybe it's a different consonant cluster, like FR or DR. DRAPE? Close. CRANE? One off. It's either CRAVE or CRAZE. I'll try CRAVE. Phew.
I'll try RHINO now to get some more vowels out of the way. The upper right might be ROOST. Nailed it.
Looks like the bottom right has two Os as well. FLOOD? Yep.
One to go. If I hadn't already used C, it could be LANCE. ANKLE? Ooh, close. It has to be ANGLE.
The best starter words for Quordle
What should you play for that first guess? We can look to Wordle for some general guidelines.
The best starters tend to contain common letters, to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares to guide your guessing. (And if you get all grays when guessing common letters, that's still excellent information to help you rule out possibilities.) There isn't a single 'best' starting word, but the New York Times's Wordle analysis bot has suggested starting with one of these:
CRANE
TRACE
SLANT
CRATE
CARTE
Meanwhile, an MIT analysis found that you'll eliminate the most possibilities in the first round by starting with one of these:
SALET
REAST
TRACE
CRATE
SLATE
Other good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but you could argue that it's better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP. Choose your strategy, and see how it plays out.

Parenting Pro Elon Musk's (Very Relatable) Father's Day Tips
Driving in Los Angeles recently, I saw one of those digital billboards showing the national debt. The total at that moment was something like 36,841,875,823,151—and rising. But as the numbers that flashed by I wondered, were they counting really our out-of-control spending… or Elon Musk's children? And given the holiday this weekend, it got me thinking—who better to give Father's Day tips to America's dads than a man who has at least 14 or 15 children (as of this morning) by 4 or 5 different women? I don't know the exact number but then neither does Elon. So here we all are. George Foreman had 12 kids (or as Elon says, only 12) and decided to name all five of the boys George. Not only is that boring—even with the Roman numerals after their name—but it will have had to have been confusing whenever he yelled, 'George Junior you're getting a timeout.' Or when Mrs. Foreman screamed out George Senior's name in a moment of passion. You don't want five boys running in the room while Mom is heels over head. This is why Elon recommends every father should give each of his offspring a truly stand-out name. Not only does it give the child a sense of being unique, it greatly increases the chances that one day they could write a sequel to 'A Boy Named Sue.' The Musk kids' names include such gems as X Æ A-12, Exa, Strider, Azure, Techno, Arcadia, Seldon Lycurgus, Romulus and Nevada. By the way, that last one follows in the 1990s tradition of naming kids after the place where they were conceived—which explains why I named my kids Paris, Dakota, and Backseat of a Buick. Elon believes that kids learn by watching Dad. For example, he brought X Æ A-Xii to the Oval Office during a visit with President Trump and the very next day the 5-year-old fired 35,000 federal employees. Remember, every child wants to be just like their dad—except maybe the Son of Sam. (Editor's Note: With this reference, Mr. Macks wins the $3 prize in this week's Daily Beast obscure knowledge office pool.) Elon gets it, parenting is hard. Taking care of your offspring can be challenging whether you see them once every two years or are there in-person thanks to a court order once a month; whether you're worth a comfortable $450 billion or struggling to get by on just eight figures a year. And we all know it's those middle dozen-or-so kids that can be especially trying. But at the end of the day, no matter what problems your kids have caused, make sure you Zoom with them with a happy face—and that they see those store-bought Mar-A Lago lips, chiseled cheekbones, wide eyes and wrinkle-free forehead. As Elon says, seeing their parents that way can help a child have a better night's sleep than even a double cup of Robitussin PM. This can be summed up very simply. Never give a child a timeout or spanking—when they need to be disciplined for bad behavior or woke ideology, simply deport them. My own dear Dad taught me from an early age that 'there is no such thing as a free lunch' and 'never borrow money on the street from a guy named Lefty as he'll kill you on the vig.' Joe Biden's Dad always said, 'Joey, it's not how many times a man is down, it's how many times he can get up.' (Which coincidentally is also the Viagra slogan.) In retrospect, though, maybe he should have suggested, 'never debate after three in the afternoon.' The problem with those missives, however helpful or world-altering the guidance they provide, is that they are not translatable to all kids. They're too specific. Elon, then, advises all dads to pass along the following three maxims not just on Father's Day but every day to help shape a child's journey: 'Always thank your mothers' 'The first billion is the hardest' 'Everything in moderation except ketamine' I hope you follow this sage advice on how to raise a confident, strong brood. And in the end, no matter how hard it is to be a father in these challenging times, remember these words from another one of my heroes, Woody Allen: A Dad is a son's first hero, and a daughter's first love. Happy Father's Day!

Teen Called His Older Brother a ‘Loser' — Now, He's Worried He Was Too Harsh: ‘Thought a Dose of Reality Might Help Him'
A Reddit user who recently called his older sibling a 'loser' is rethinking the way he handled trying to motivate him He had told his brother 'that he has nothing going for him' 'Shame is a terrible motivator,' a fellow Reddit user repliedAn older sibling is driving his younger brother up the wall. The 19-year-old boy explained on Reddit's 'Am I the A------' forum that he recently called his 21-year-old brother a 'loser' to his face — but now the younger sibling is questioning if he was 'too harsh' with his critique. 'He doesn't work out, barely studies, doesn't seem to have goals, and spends most of his day sitting in the same spot playing a football video game while watching YouTube,' he wrote of his older brother. 'He doesn't drive well. We're both taking driving lessons, and he still struggles with basic turns after a week, and doesn't seem interested in changing anything,' he added, before detailing the tipping point. After a ' frustrating driving session,' the teenager called his brother a 'loser.' 'I told him that he has nothing going for him. I said it bluntly, hoping it would be a wake-up call and motivate him to at least work on something — anything,' he recalled. 'Instead, he got really angry and went straight to our mom and started ranting.' The mom then 'yelled' at the teen. 'She told me I was being incredibly mean and unhelpful,' he said. 'I honestly thought a dose of reality might help him snap out of it, but maybe it was the wrong approach.' Rethinking the way he handled trying to motivate his brother, the younger sibling asked the Reddit forum for their outside opinions. is now available in the Apple App Store!

'You said that out of frustration and anger, not to help him in anyway,' one person replied. 'Stop lying to yourself and trying to justify your actions.' Another reader simply asserted, 'Shame is a terrible motivator.' A third Reddit user suggested a solution, writing 'Help needs to come from a place of compassion. You need to apologize and make it clear you are worried about him, and break down why his present course worries you.' Read the original article on People

Late ‘Real Housewives' Executive Lauren Miller's Husband Shares Update on Newborn Son
Lauren Miller's husband, Kevin Miller, brought their infant son home from the hospital after the Real Housewives executive's tragic death during childbirth. 'Kevin is delighted to share that baby Jackson is out of the NICU and at home with his dad and sister,' an Thursday, June 12, update on a GoFundMe campaign set up to support Lauren's family read. '[Kevin says that] he has been an angel and has eaten and slept like a champ. He is so alert and attentive already at just 4 days old.' The fundraiser, organized by Lauren's colleague Sherri Pender, noted that Kevin has been 'so deeply touched by everyone's generosity and kindness' in the wake of Lauren's death. Lauren died on Monday, June 9, shortly after giving birth to the pair's son, Jackson. She is survived by Kevin and their two children: Emma, 3, and Jackson, 4 days. 'Real Housewives' Franchise Executive Lauren Miller Died 'Suddenly' in Childbirth 'It's been a little over 48 hours since we launched this fundraiser. As Lauren's coworkers, we are all truly blown away by the depth and breadth of the response,' Pender added in her Thursday update. 'As we cope with our own grief, it has been so incredibly touching to see how this fundraiser has spread. We blew past our first target and are quickly approaching the second. A heartfelt thanks to everyone for donating and for spreading the word to your wider networks.' She added, 'Today, we were contacted by a charity that offers baby formula and diapers to families after a maternal loss. They can also connect Kevin with support groups. He has a long road ahead and we want to make sure we are there for him throughout.' Influencer Lauren Cummings Johnson's Baby Dead at 9 Months: 'Our Beautiful Miracle' Kevin broke his silence on Lauren's death in the comments of a Shed Media announcement. (Lauren worked for Shed, which produces several Bravo shows such as The Real Housewives of New York City and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.) 'Lauren is the love of my life, and I was blessed by God that she chose to spend her life with me and give me two beautiful children to remember her every minute of every day,' Kevin wrote via Instagram comment on Friday, June 13. 'Please pray for our family and thank you all for the prayers, kind words and thoughts. God bless.' Several Real Housewives stars, including Tamra Judge, Heather Gay and Sai de Silva, also offered their condolences. 'Prayers for her family and friends,' Judge, 57, replied. 'This is absolutely heartbreaking.' A cause of death has not yet been publicly shared.
