Quordle today – hints and answers for Wednesday, May 8 (game #835)

Quordle on a smartphone held in a hand.

Another day, another Quordle puzzle to get your brain buzzing. Or rather, two Quordle puzzles – because there's also the Daily Sequence version now too. I've got hints for the standard Quordle below, but not the Sequence because it's (in my experience) a little easier. But you will find answers for both in case you don't get time to play.

SPOILER WARNING: Information about Quordle today is below, so don't read on if you don't want to know the answers.

If you just want to know the answers at this stage, simply scroll down. If you're not ready yet then here's one more clue to make things a lot easier:

The answers to today's Quordle, game #835, are…

  • SEVER
  • GLORY
  • RADAR
  • SMALL

A much easier Quordle today than yesterday's; this game is like a rollercoaster at the moment. That said, it's not without complications, particularly the fact that SEVER, RADAR and SMALL all have repeated letters. RADAR has two of them, of course, and is likely to be the word that causes you the most trouble today.

I didn't suffer unduly, because by the time I got to it, it was the only word I could see that fit, and I duly solved this Quordle with two guesses remaining.
