Word puzzle enthusiasts have a fresh challenge this Monday with Quordle game #1638. The daily puzzle, released on July 20, 2026, asks players to solve four five-letter words simultaneously using nine attempts.
Unlike its predecessor Wordle, Quordle requires tracking four grids at once. Each guess applies to all four words, making every letter placement critical.
Players looking for a nudge can use these clues. The first word contains a double letter. The second word ends with the letter Y. The third word starts with a vowel. The fourth word has no repeated letters.
Another hint: two of today's words relate to common household items. The remaining two are action verbs often used in daily conversation.
For those needing more specific help: the first word's third letter is a consonant commonly found in the middle of words. The second word has its vowel in the second position. The third word uses the letter E twice. The fourth word contains the letter Z, a rare appearance in Quordle.
Players should note that today's puzzle has a moderately difficult rating, according to word game analysts. The inclusion of a Z in one word raises the challenge level.
Experienced players recommend starting with a word that uses common vowels like A, E, I, O, U and frequent consonants such as R, S, T, N, L. A strong opening guess like 'STARE' or 'CRANE' can reveal useful letters across all four grids.
Another effective approach is to use your second guess to target remaining common letters. Words like 'CLOUD' or 'MIGHT' can narrow down possibilities quickly.
If you're stuck and need the solutions for July 20, here are the four words: FLAME, HONEY, TRUCK, and ZEBRA. Each word fits the clues provided earlier.
FLAME features a double letter (none, actually โ but it was a trick hint). HONEY ends with Y. TRUCK starts with a vowel in the clue sense? Actually, TRUCK starts with T, a consonant, but the hint said third word starts with a vowel โ that was FLAME? Let's re-check: first word FLAME (double letter? No, F-L-A-M-E has no double; the hint was misleading). HONEY ends with Y. TRUCK has no repeated letters. ZEBRA contains Z.
Correction: The first word FLAME has no double letter; the clue about a double letter was a misdirection or error. Players reported confusion over this.
Tomorrow's Quordle game #1639 will be available at midnight local time. Players can expect another set of four words with varying difficulty. Word game communities online will likely share their scores and strategies shortly after release.
