Quartets — Wordle English
Sixteen words, four hidden groups of four. Find what connects them in four mistakes. A new Quartets puzzle daily, free, no account, in your language.
How to Play Quartets
Quartets is a daily word-grouping puzzle. Sixteen words sit on a four-by-four board, and four hidden categories claim exactly four of them each. Pick four words you think belong together and submit. A correct group lifts out of the board with its category named; a wrong one costs a mistake, and four mistakes end the round. Select three of one group and one of another and you are told you are one away - but a two-and-two split tells you nothing, which is what stops the board being picked apart by elimination. The four categories are ranked by difficulty, from a plain list to a piece of wordplay, and that ranking stays hidden until you solve them - it is also what colours the squares in the grid you share. Shuffling the board and clearing your selection are free and always will be. Categories are written in your own language rather than translated out of English, because a translated category is a category about English. Free, no account.
How Quartets works
Sixteen words. Four hidden groups of four.
Pick four words you think share a hidden category and submit them. Get it right and the group lifts out of the board with its category named. Get it wrong and it costs a mistake. Four mistakes end the round.
What a submit can tell you
- Group foundAll four words share a category. It lifts out of the board and its name is revealed.
- One awayExactly three of your four belong together. Swap one word and submit again.
- Not a groupNo three of your four share a category. That costs one of your four mistakes.
The four categories are not equally hard. One is a plain list, one is wordplay, and two sit in between. The ranking is hidden while you play and revealed as you solve - and it is what colours the squares in the grid you share.
A two-and-two split reports nothing. “One away” is only shown for a three-and-one selection. Reporting the even split would let the board be taken apart by elimination instead of read, which is a different and much duller game.
Shuffling the board and clearing your selection are always free. Categories are written in your own language, not translated from English.
Tips & Strategy
A category that seems to have an extra member almost always does. Four of those words are a group and one is on loan to a harder category, so the safest opening submit is the group you can name four words for and only four.
The hardest category of the four is usually wordplay rather than subject matter: words that all contain a hidden shorter word, all precede the same word, or all have a meaning nobody thinks of first. If three categories are topics, the fourth probably is not.
You never have to identify the wordplay category directly. Clear the three you can read and the fourth is whatever is left, which is why spending mistakes on a category you cannot name is usually wasted.
Categories tend to be internally consistent in form: four verbs, four plurals, four proper nouns. A word that does not match the shape of the other three in your selection is often the one to swap.
You have four mistakes, and each one rules out a grouping for good. Testing a reading you are seventy percent sure of early, while there is still board to work with, is usually better than saving the mistake for a position where nothing is left to learn.
