Quordle #1733 Hints for Today (October 23, 2026)
Start with the broad hints if you only want a small push. They narrow the field without giving away a full word.
| Hint | Today’s Puzzle |
|---|---|
| Starting letters | B, H, F, L |
| Different vowels used | 4 (E, I, O, U) |
| Words with a repeated letter | 0 |
| Rare letters (Q, Z, X, J) | None |
| Ending letters | P, T, D, D |
| Words starting with the same letter | 0 |
One pattern stands out today. The letter I shows up in all four answers, so an opener like SLICE or RAINS can light up every board at once.
A Clue for Each Word
Still stuck after the table? These clues point to each word without spelling it out.
- Word 1 (starts with B): A large airship held up by gas, often seen floating above sports stadiums.
- Word 2 (starts with H): To lift something heavy, usually with a rope or a pulley.
- Word 3 (starts with F): How most people like their chicken or their eggs, cooked in hot oil.
- Word 4 (starts with L): Shockingly vivid or sensational, the kind of word tabloids love.
Quordle Answers Today: Game #1733
Spoiler warning: the four solutions are right below. Stop here if you want to keep trying.
| Board | Answer |
|---|---|
| Top left | BLIMP |
| Top right | HOIST |
| Bottom left | FRIED |
| Bottom right | LURID |
LURID is likely the word that trips most players today. It is common in writing but rare in casual speech, and Merriam-Webster defines lurid as causing shock or horror, as well as glowing with an unnatural, fiery color.
FRIED and LURID both end in D, which is a handy shortcut once you crack one of them. BLIMP is the only word with a P, so a guess like CRIMP or PRISM can lock it in fast.
Quordle Daily Sequence Answers for October 23
In Daily Sequence mode, the four boards unlock one after another, so order matters. Here are today’s solutions in sequence, as reported by TechRadar’s Quordle #1733 roundup.
| Order | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1 | TRADE |
| 2 | OFFAL |
| 3 | QUAIL |
| 4 | LOAMY |
Unlike the main grid, the Sequence uses a rare letter today. The Q in QUAIL and the double F in OFFAL are the two traps to watch.

How Quordle Works
Quordle asks you to solve four five-letter words at the same time in nine guesses. Every guess you type goes into all four boards, so one smart word can help on several grids at once.
Green means the letter is in the right spot, and yellow means it is in the word but in the wrong place. Grey letters do not appear in that board’s answer at all. The game is now hosted on Merriam-Webster’s official Quordle page, which also offers Chill, Extreme, and Daily Sequence modes.
Quick Tips for Better Scores
- Open with two words that cover five different vowels and common consonants, such as AUDIO and THREE.
- Finish the easiest board early so you free up guesses for the hardest one.
- Watch for shared endings like today’s double D, because they cut your options quickly.
