Ways to play Quordle

1. Letter arrangements

People often call these kinds of word games “Scrabble” or “like Scrabble” because Scrabble is the most well-known and popular game in this group.

Even though their rules and how they are played may be different, they are all board games with regular squares and special squares (that provide extra points). Each player gets a set of letters, and the goal is to use those letters to make words and place them on the board so that they overlap, like in a crossword.

The letters have different points based on how often they are used in the language. For the players to get points, they have to play words with them. The person with the most points wins.

2. Word searches

Crossword puzzles have been around for a long time and don’t really need an introduction. The name immediately makes me think of a grid of black-and-white squares that overlap in some places. Still, there are other ways to set up games. In some versions, the black squares are added by the players as they go. In some, there is no grid at all, and the squares in the rows and columns form different shapes.

No matter how the game is set up, the rules are always the same. The players have to put words in the squares based on a hint. Most of the time, this is a definition or an example of how the word is used.

Crosswords and Fill-In Crosswords are not the same things. Even though they share part of the same name and the same grid layout, the second one has no clues and doesn’t require you to know any language. Instead, it focuses on logic by having players find a way to fill the crossword grid with words from a set list.

3. Find the Word

Just like Crosswords, Word Search is an old game that everyone knows. It’s a puzzle-type game where players are given a list of words to find in a grid of letters. Most of the time, the puzzles have themes, or the words on the list have something in common.

Word puzzles like these are also easy to change so that people of different ages can play. For example, kids’ puzzles tend to be smaller, and the words are only hidden in the grid vertically or horizontally.

The ones for adults are bigger, and the words can also be written backward or diagonally, which makes them harder.

4. Word Hustle and Wordle

Wordle is the newest digital word puzzle game that is about to take over the world. It’s a daily puzzle with easy-to-understand rules. After the New York Times bought Wordle, new versions started to show up on the internet. These versions had the same challenging parts that players love about Wordle, but they didn’t limit players to just one puzzle per day. To avoid stealing someone else’s work, these versions were given the name Word Hurdle.

The goal is to try different things until you find the 5-letter word of the day. At the start, there is a 5×6 grid. The players must start by putting in any 5-letter word at random. If the word you typed in has any letters that are also in the daily term, those letters will be highlighted in yellow or green, depending on whether they are in the right place.

The players can keep trying different combinations to find as many highlighted letters as possible, but they must be careful! They can only enter up to six words, and one of them has to be the winning word or they will lose the game.
