Today's Quordle Hints (and Answer) for Thursday, July 31, 2025
If you're looking for the Quordle answer for Thursday, July 31, 2025, read on—I'll share some clues, tips, and strategies, and finally the solution. Beware, there are spoilers below for July 31, Quordle #1284! Keep scrolling if you want some hints (and then the answer) to today's Quordle game. (If you play Wordle, Connections, or 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. Ready for the hints? Let's go! Can you give me a hint for today's Quordle? Upper left: What a well-dressed person has. Upper right: A car parker. Lower left: Deep pain. Lower right: Metal mix. Does today's Quordle have any double or repeated letters? Upper left: No. Upper right: No. Lower left: No. Lower right: Yes, a double consonant. What letters do today's Quordle words start with? Upper left: S Upper right: V Lower left: A Lower right: A What letters do today's Quordle words end with? Upper left: E Upper right: T Lower left: Y Lower right: Y What is the solution to today's Quordle? Upper left: STYLE Upper right: VALET Lower left: AGONY Lower right: ALLOY How I solved today's Quordle Let's kick things off with my starter words, SLATE and MOUND. The upper left is probably STYLE. Yes. The bottom left could be AGONY. Got it. I think the bottom right is ALLOY. On a roll. Let's try VALET for the upper right. Wow, that might be my fastest solve. 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. Solve the daily Crossword

This was the riddle: If you throw me from the window, I will leave a grieving wife. Bring me back, but in the door, and you'll see someone giving life! What am I? The answer is: The letter 'N'. Take it out of WINDOW and you get WIDOW. Add it to DOOR and you get DONOR. Okay, Wordle time!

Today's Wordle Hints And Answer Wordle Bot's Starting Word: SLATE My Starting Word Today: STORE (123 words remaining) The Hint: Ruffles, lace. The Clue: This Wordle has a double letter. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . .Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. STORE wasn't terrible, leaving me with 123 remaining solutions and one yellow box. BRAID cut that number down to a reasonable 12, but I still had no strong sense of where to go next. I was 99% sure the 'I' would go in the third box and I wanted to come up with something that used new letters to narrow things down, but finally just settled on GRILL. This left me with two words, but I didn't think of KRILL and guessed FRILL. Lucky for me, that was the Wordle! The Bot and I tied with four today, earning 0 points each on this final day of July. That leaves our totals at: Erik: 9 points Wordle Bot: 10 points The Bot wins this month, though just barely. On Friday, we'll start over at zero. Oh well. The word "frill" comes from the Middle Dutch vril or vrille, meaning a wrinkle or fold. It entered English in the 17th century to describe a pleated or ruffled edging on clothing. The term later expanded metaphorically to mean anything decorative or non-essential.
