Christmas Eve brings a festive Quordle challenge with eight words to solve across both game modes. If you’re finding it tricky to juggle four simultaneous word puzzles while preparing for the holidays, we’ve got comprehensive hints and answers for both Quordle Classic and Quordle Sequence to keep your streak alive on this special day.
What is Quordle?
Quordle takes the beloved Wordle concept and multiplies the challenge by four. Instead of solving one five-letter word, you’re solving four words simultaneously. You have nine guesses to find all four words, with each guess applying to all four puzzles at once.
Quordle offers two daily game modes:
- Quordle Classic: Solve four words with all puzzles active from the start
- Quordle Sequence: Solve four words one at a time in sequential order
You can play both modes daily at Merriam-Webster’s Quordle.

Word Breakdowns and Definitions
Let’s explore each of today’s words in more detail:
Classic Mode Words
FLOUR: A powder made by grinding raw grains, roots, beans, nuts, or seeds. Wheat flour is the most common type used in baking. It’s essential for making bread, cakes, cookies, and countless other baked goods. The gluten in wheat flour provides structure to baked products.
CHAIR: A piece of furniture designed for one person to sit on, typically having four legs, a seat, and a back. Chairs come in endless varieties, from simple wooden dining chairs to ergonomic office chairs to luxurious armchairs.
OCTAL: Relating to or based on the number eight, specifically referring to the base-8 numbering system. In computing, octal notation uses digits 0-7 and was historically important in programming, though hexadecimal (base-16) is more common today.
ADAPT: To make suitable for a new use or purpose, or to adjust to new conditions. This word is fundamental to evolutionary biology, business strategy, and personal development. Organisms adapt to their environments, while people adapt to changing circumstances.
Sequence Mode Words
RARER: The comparative form of “rare,” meaning more uncommon, scarce, or infrequent. It can describe anything from rare collectibles to unusual events.
SUING: The present participle of “sue,” meaning to take legal action against someone by filing a lawsuit. This involves seeking compensation or legal remedy through the court system.
HONOR: A noun with multiple meanings including respect, integrity, privilege, or distinction. It can also be a verb meaning to show respect for someone or to fulfill an obligation. The word carries deep cultural and personal significance across societies.
WRATH: Extreme anger or indignation, often described as fierce, intense, or vengeful. The word has literary and biblical connotations, frequently appearing in phrases like “wrath of God” or describing powerful emotional responses.
Strategy Tips for Playing Quordle
If today’s puzzles challenged you, here are proven strategies for improving your Quordle performance:
Starting Word Strategy
Use vowel-heavy opening words: Starting with words like ADIEU, AUDIO, or OURIE helps you identify which vowels appear in the four target words. Since vowels are crucial for word formation, knowing their positions early is invaluable.
Follow with consonant-rich words: Your second guess should incorporate common consonants like R, S, T, L, and N alongside any confirmed vowels. This combination approach maximizes information gathering.
Managing Multiple Puzzles
Focus on the easiest puzzle first: Once you’ve narrowed down one puzzle significantly, solve it completely. This frees up mental space and potentially reveals useful letters for the remaining words.
Look for letter overlap: Pay attention to letters that appear in multiple puzzles. These shared letters can guide your strategy for guessing words that benefit all remaining puzzles.
Don’t waste guesses on solved puzzles: Once you’ve identified a word, make sure your remaining guesses help with unsolved puzzles rather than just confirming what you already know.
Advanced Techniques
Consider letter frequency: Common letters like E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S appear frequently in English words. Prioritize words containing these letters when you’re stuck.
Watch for double letters: Words like RARER demonstrate that Quordle doesn’t shy away from repeated letters. Keep this in mind when you’ve eliminated many possibilities.
Use process of elimination: As you gather green and yellow letters, mentally catalogue which positions and letters are ruled out for each puzzle.
Why These Words Work for Christmas Eve
Today’s selection offers an interesting mix of everyday vocabulary and more specialized terms:
Classic Mode presents practical words like FLOUR (essential for holiday baking) and CHAIR (around the family table), balanced with the technical term OCTAL and the versatile verb ADAPT. This combination tests both common knowledge and vocabulary range.
Sequence Mode creates a narrative arc from RARER (uncommon words), through SUING (legal action), to HONOR (moral principle), culminating in WRATH (strong emotion). These words span different registers and contexts, making the puzzle engaging and varied.
The difficulty level is moderate, with most words being familiar even if not frequently used in everyday conversation. OCTAL stands out as the most specialized term, potentially challenging players less familiar with computing terminology.

Understanding Quordle Scoring
Quordle doesn’t use a traditional points system, but success is measured by:
- Completion: Solving all four words within nine guesses
- Efficiency: Using fewer guesses demonstrates stronger word recognition and strategy
- Streak maintenance: Solving consecutive daily puzzles builds your winning streak
Many players share their results on social media using the color-coded grid system, comparing strategies and celebrating particularly efficient solves.
The Appeal of Quordle
What makes Quordle so engaging is the mental juggling required to manage four puzzles simultaneously. Unlike Wordle, where you can focus entirely on one word, Quordle demands strategic thinking about how each guess impacts all four boards.
This complexity makes successful solves more satisfying, as you’re not just finding words but optimizing your approach across multiple challenges at once. The dual game modes (Classic and Sequence) also provide variety, letting you choose between simultaneous chaos or sequential focus depending on your mood.
Final Thoughts on Today’s Quordle
Christmas Eve’s Quordle puzzles offer a delightful mix of familiar and challenging vocabulary across both game modes. Whether you breezed through all eight words or needed hints along the way, the mental workout provides a fun distraction during the busy holiday season.
The combination of baking ingredients (FLOUR), everyday objects (CHAIR), technical terms (OCTAL), and abstract concepts (ADAPT, HONOR, WRATH) showcases the game’s ability to test different aspects of vocabulary knowledge while remaining accessible to players of varying skill levels.
