Quordle Classic hints and answers for Thursday, August 20, 2026
Four boards, nine guesses, and one set of letters doing duty everywhere at once. Thursday's Classic set is a mixed one: none of the four answers repeats a letter. Each board below gets a hint first, then its first and last letters, then the answer - take only as much help as you need.

How Quordle works
Quordle is four Wordle boards played at once: every guess lands on all four boards, and you have nine guesses to clear them all. This page covers Classic mode only - Quordle's Chill, Extreme and Sequence modes run different answers on the same day. One scheduling note: Quordle deals its new puzzle at midnight in your own time zone, not at a single worldwide moment, so your puzzle date is your local date.
