Quordle Hints and Answers Today, #1737 for Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026: Clues for All Four Words

Today’s Quordle from Merriam-Webster is puzzle #1737, for Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026. No word repeats a letter, so every guess tests five new letters on each board, and each word starts with a different letter. The clues below are grouped by each word’s first letter, because the published solutions we checked list the words without saying which board each one is on. The answers are in a marked spoiler section at the end.

How Quordle works

You have nine guesses to solve four five-letter words. Every guess is entered on all four boards at once, and the tiles color like Wordle’s: green for the right letter in the right spot, yellow for a letter in the wrong spot, gray for a letter not in that word.

Clues for each word

The word that starts with A

• Letters: starts with A, ends with E, and has a K in the middle.
• Meaning: the joint between your foot and your leg.

The word that starts with H

• Letters: starts with H, ends with C.
• Meaning: widespread chaos or damage, as in “wreak ___.”

The word that starts with S

• Letters: starts with S, ends with Y, and U is its only vowel.
• Meaning: quietly bad-tempered, the mood of someone who did not get their way.

The word that starts with W

• Letters: starts with W, ends with E.
• Meaning: the color of fresh snow.

A starter strategy for today

A first guess such as Whale, with W, H, A, L and E, puts at least one letter into every board. A second guess such as Snuck, with S, N, U, C and K, fills in much of the rest. Solve the board with the most green first, and do not spend a guess on a board that is already solved.
