The answer

Tap to reveal. Blurred until you ask, so nobody scrolls into a spoiler.

Answer is hidden until you activate the reveal button.

Why this answer

What the word means, where the trap was, and how the solve unfolds.

DERBY and GAWKY both finish in Y, but none of the four answers repeats a letter. LIMBO supplies I and O; REIGN uses E and I. The W and K in GAWKY are useful distinguishing letters once its A and final Y are placed. Treat each grid independently: a gray letter on one board can still belong on another.

The opener that would have found it, and what to carry into tomorrow.

How to use these hints

The clues follow the grid order: top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. Read each board's feedback separately. A gray tile in one grid does not rule that letter out of another.

A gray duplicate can mean you guessed too many copies of a letter. Keep any green or yellow copy in your candidate words.

For the full rules, see our Quordle playing guide.
