Word Guess Quad

Word games · Guess 4 hidden words at once, or 8 on the big board. One keyboard, every guess counts on every board.

Play Word Guess Quad free online: four hidden 5-letter words at once, one keyboard and 9 tries. Every word you type lands on all four boards, and each board colours it for its own answer, so one good guess can light up several words. Switch to 8 words for the big 13-try challenge, come back for the Daily (the same four words for everyone, every day), and press Teach me when you're stuck: Hops picks the board closest to solving and shows a word that fits.

How to play

  1. Type any real 5-letter word and press Enter. It goes on all four boards at once.
  2. Each board colours the guess for its own hidden word: orange = right letter in the right spot, teal (with a dot) = in that word but somewhere else, dark = not in that word.
  3. A board is solved when you type its word; it stops there and the other boards keep going.
  4. Solve all four within 9 tries to win. In 8-word mode you have 13 tries for eight boards.
  5. The keyboard shows one small patch per board, so you can see what each letter did on every board at a glance.

Tips to win

  • Open with two or three words that use different common letters, such as RAISE, COUNT and GLYPH: together they test fifteen letters on every board.
  • After the openers, finish the board with the fewest possible words left, then use what you learned there on the rest.
  • Don't spend your last tries on boards you can't solve yet: aim each guess at a board where it can be the answer.
  • Watch the keyboard patches: a letter that is dark on three boards and orange on one tells you exactly where it goes.
  • Learning? Press Teach me: Hops says which board to work on and a word that fits every clue. Coached games still count as wins.

Guides

Questions

How do you play Word Guess Quad?

Type a 5-letter word and press Enter. The guess appears on all four boards and each colours it for its own hidden word. Find all four words in 9 tries to win.

How many tries do you get?

9 tries for four words, and 13 tries for eight words. A board stops as soon as you solve it.

Is there a daily puzzle?

Yes. The Daily is four words, the same for everyone in your language each day, with a streak on GameLake.

What does the keyboard show?

Each key has a small patch per board: orange, teal or dark for what that letter did on that board, and an empty patch once a board is solved.

Is it like Quordle and Octordle?

It's the same idea of solving several 5-letter words at once with shared guesses, with GameLake's own word lists in 8 languages and a free daily.
