Quordle today – hints and answers for Thursday, July 18 (game #906)

Thursday’s Quordle brings four new puzzles to solve. Or does it? Because unlike Wordle, Quordle answers do sometimes repeat. (I’m not saying any of today’s do, and in fact I have no idea whether any have appeared before, but it’s worth knowing that they might do.)

Anyway, the puzzles may be new (or possibly not), but the challenge is the same as always: find all four words in nine guesses or lose your streak. I’ve got hints below to help you avoid that terrible fate.

Enjoy playing word games? You can also check out my Wordle today, NYT Connections today and NYT Strands today pages for hints and answers for those puzzles.

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

Note to self: please pay more attention when solving the Daily Sequence version of Quordle, even when it appears to be easy, because a lack of care can leave you in danger of failing the game. Thank you.

Yes, I made a big mess of the Sequence today, rushing to complete it and making three successive guesses that could not possibly have been correct as I attempted to solve the rather simple TRACK. Maybe I was in a slapdash mood because the main Quordle game was also relatively simple today, although POPPY, with its triple P, might cause people some problems.
