Today's Quordle Hints (and Answer) for Sunday, July 13, 2025
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.
Ready for the hints? Let's go!

Lower right: R
What is the solution to today's Quordle?
Upper left: KAYAK
Upper right: DECRY
Lower left: RUDDY
Lower right: HATER
How I solved today's Quordle
SLATE and MOUND, my go-to starter words, don't give me a ton of hits today. I'll try PRICY to get some more common letters on the board.
The upper right has to be DECRY. Yep.
The bottom left is probably RUDDY. Yep.
I'll try HATER for the bottom right. On a roll!
This last square is a toughie. Its only vowels are A and Y, and it can't end in Y, which eliminates a lot of options. I think KAYAK is the only option. Yep!
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.

‘Extra' Sees Layoffs Ahead Of Season 32
Daytime Emmy-winning half-hour newsmagazine Extra has let go a number of staffers ahead of its forthcoming 32nd season, Deadline has confirmed. The decision is a result of an annual cataloguing that assesses staff structure and production processes and was not a performance-based. As Extra continues into its third decade, it seeks to revamp the show with a new host and fresh look to engage viewers. It's currently unclear how many workers were laid off. More from Deadline Billy Bush Leaving 'Extra' After 5 Seasons As Host 'Extra' Renewed For Season 32; Billy Bush's Return As Host Uncertain Arianne Zucker Talks 'Days Of Our Lives' Final Episode & 'Access Hollywood' Moment With Donald Trump: 'I Didn't See It The Way People Were Seeing It" The news comes two months after host Billy Bush announced he will not be returning to the long-running syndicated entertainment news series. 'After an amazing five years hosting Extra, I'm moving on to continue building out my Hot Mics digital platform,' Bush told listeners on his Hot Mics podcast at the time. 'We have experienced unprecedented growth in a short period of time here on this show and I find myself hungrier and more stimulated than at any point in my professional career. Extra is culturally iconic. If I had a dollar for every time someone hollered 'Extra Extra' to me in the airport or something, I'd buy Warner Bros.' With Season 32, Extra will be led by executive producer and showrunner Jeremy Spiegel. As the second longest-running entertainment newsmagazine in syndication, the show has garnered 12 consecutive Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Entertainment News Program. In 2014, it clinched the Emmy in that category, repeating the feat two years later. Extra was renewed for Season 32 back in March by Fox Televisions Stations, which has been the daily newsmagazine's anchor station group for the past six seasons. The show is produced by Telepictures in association with Warner Bros Unscripted Television, and is distributed by Warner Bros Domestic Television Distribution. The Hollywood Reporter was first to break the news. Best of Deadline 'The Buccaneers' Season 2 Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?

13 Totally '90s Couples You Haven't Thought About in 30 Years
Talk about a blast from the past! Though it has been more than two decades since these couples held hands on a red carpet or cuddled up on a vintage couch, we dug through the archives and pulled out our favorite photos of these so very nostalgic pairings. From Toni Braxton and Shemar Moore's sexy award show looks to Sandra Bullock and Matthew McConaughey's adorable stares, take a look back at these couples you might not have thought about this millennium. In addition to starring in 1998's There's Something About Mary together, Dillon and Diaz also dated in the 1990s after meeting years prior on nearby film sets. She told Britain's Guardian in 1997, 'I love him incredibly.' Years after their relationship ended, Dillon told Parade, per CBS News, that Diaz was a "muse." "It's a very powerful thing when you feel that way about somebody," he said of falling in love. "Cameron was a muse for me. I hadn't been in any deep emotional relationships." Diaz now shares two children with husband Benji Madden. Stamos and Abdul, seen here in the early '90s, dated for a time and have kept up a friendship over the years. In 2015, Abdul shared a throwback photo of the pair alongside a reunion shot that Stamos posted on his own Instagram page as well. "Cold Hearted Snake and America's sweetheart," Stamos wrote. "Together again and it feels so good." Stamos married his wife Caitlin McHugh Stamos in 2018 and they welcomed their son Billy that same year. Wolf and Milano dated briefly in the early 1990s and were even engaged for six months before the relationship ended amicably in 1994. The Charmed alumna is now married to talent agent David Bugliari, with whom she has two children, and Wolf shares three children with his estranged wife Kelley Wolf. The two Oscar-winning actors dated after first meeting on the set of their 1996 film A Time To Kill. 'We dated for a while after A Time to Kill, and we're still friends,' he told Playboy in 2016. 'She and I have another version of our relationship to put on film, and we're looking for something. She's not a little girl. She's a woman. She could run a country.' McConaughey now shares three kids with his wife Camila Alves McConaughey while Bullock is mom to son Louis and daughter Laila. The two don't just share a dating history; they also both have deep ties to Austin, Tex. The S.W.A.T. star was one-half of a few iconic '90s couples — including this memorable pairing with the Grammy winner in 1995. While speaking with PEOPLE about his "pretty good entrance into Hollywood,' he explained how he became known as 'the guy who dated Halle Berry [in 1997] and Toni Braxton [in 1995]." Years later, Moore welcomed his first daughter Frankie with now ex-girlfriend Jesiree Dizon and Braxton welcomed two children with her ex-husband Keri Lewis. While the two played love interests onscreen as Felicity and Ben on Felicity from 1998 to 2002 they also dated off-screen for a time. (Did that make it awkward when Felicity decided to pursue Noel?) While they both are now in long term relationships with other people, the two remain dear friends. American Pie is about at '90s as it gets, and Fulong and Lyonne, who "were together for a while," attended the 1999 premiere of the movie together. In an interview with her friend Chloë Sevigny for Harper's Bazaar in 2014, Lyonne says she "was crazy for him on the [Detroit Rock City] movie set," in which the two costarred. Rimes and Keegan met as teenagers, she told The Sydney Morning Herald in 2022, and were first connected after she spotted him in a magazine. "I started dating Andrew Keegan at 15," she told the paper. "He was an actor in teen movies and we were together for three years. While filming a video clip for my song Commitment in Santa Monica, I flicked through a Teen Beat magazine and spotted him. I told my manager and hair and make-up artist that I thought he was cute. Next minute, my then manager called Andrew and asked if he wanted to meet me; that's how we hooked up." Keegan now shares daughter Aiya Rose with Arista Ilona while Rimes is married to Eddie Cibrian and is stepmother to his two sons. After meeting in 1995, Jewel and Penn had a brief romance, which she discussed in her book Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half the Story. After seeing her perform on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Penn reached out to Jewel over the phone — a move her Alaska-based father first wrote off as a prank call. 'One day my dad came to find me, saying, 'Jewel, you must be getting some kooky fans out there in the Lower 48. Some guy just prank-called and said he was Sean Penn,'' she wrote. After asking her to compose a song for a movie he was working on, the two met and she found him 'charming, witty, and bright." Penn now shares two children with ex-wife Robin Wright while Rimes shares one son with ex Ty Murray. The two comedians dated in the 1990s though in a post to TikTok earlier this year, Griffin said "dating is a very loose term.' 'This is a picture of me and my then-boyfriend, Jack Black, who you probably know mostly from School of Rock,' she wrote alongside the throwback shot. 'So he was the first boyfriend I ever had where other bros thought I was cool because I was dating him." Griffin recalled their relationship further on TikTok, remembering a time she said, " 'I need a shower towel.' And he goes, 'You're standing on it. ' ... You guys, that's straight guys. He had one bath mat/towel that he used for both, and that was it. So naturally, I kept sleeping with him." In her book she writes that the pair "went out only two or three times, but that's a relationship in my book." Wilson and Barrymore, seen here in 1999, dated for a few years in the late 1990s, though years later the talk show host told Kate Hudson that for at least some of their time together it was an "open relationship." Hudson remembered meeting Barrymore for the first time while she was at dinner with Wilson, to which Barrymore responded, "I was dating him, but I think he was also dating other people ... "It was an open relationship; we were young." "We're just young, we're having fun, we're all playing, acting, hanging out," Barrymore continued. "You're not taking it all so seriously, and it was fun and we had the best time." Luke's older brother Owen was all loved up with then-girlfriend Crow at the 2000 premiere of Shanghai Noon. Per E! News, the pair began dating in 1999 after meeting on the set of The Minus Man and dated for two years. Crow is now mom to her two sons Wyatt and Levi. Friedle was on deck to support Hewitt at the 1997 premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer in Hollywood. The following year, Hewitt appeared on Friedle's show Boy Meets World as his character's love interest. And while the episode might be a fan favorite, Friedle said on an episode of the Pod Meets World podcast last year that the "super intense" makeout scene the two filmed is "uncomfortable" to watch now. Hewitt now shares three kids with her husband Brian Hallisay. Friedle married his wife Susan Martens in 2016. Read the original article on People

Fans Defend Bob Dylan After He Defies Concert Standard During Performance
Fans Defend Bob Dylan After He Defies Concert Standard During Performance originally appeared on Parade. Bob Dylan never does what you want him to. He's made a career out of defying expectation and going against the grain, whether that's going electric, switching to gospel music, or exclusively performing at a piano, Bob Dylan is gonna do what he wants. Many opinions sit on either side about the ways in which Dylan conducts his concerts, with some just appreciating the artist for who he is, and others wishing he would give them the concert they want. It's clear that Dylan has never been a man of fulfilling desires, and that is no exception at a recent concert where Dylan decided to forego the use of screens. The decision to not use the screens led to a larger conversation around the artist and the way he chooses to perform now, leaving fans on different sides. "That's Bob. Bob gonna Bob, just to Bob. Over the years of seeing him, he's been great. Sometimes out front, sometimes hidden behind some "keys." It's all just pieces in his puzzle. American treasure. Bobby Zimmerman." "Not many people get Bob. I do. He never disappoints me because I completely connect to him. Many people have opinions of his performances.""Saw him in 2014/15, and he wore a white leisure suit thing and grinded like Elvis. In 201,7 he was on keys only and hid in the shadows. You never know with Bob." "Say what you want, but he's always raw and real." In my opinion, it's not that big of a deal. If you're going to be disappointed in Bob Dylan for defying your expectations, you probably shouldn't be going to one of his shows. That's practically his brand, and it's one of the things that make him the icon he is. Dylan is just gonna do his thing, and that's what we love about him.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Fans Defend Bob Dylan After He Defies Concert Standard During Performance first appeared on Parade on Jul 7, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 7, 2025, where it first appeared.
