Given that Quordle is like Wordle but a lot harder, there’s no shame if you’re searching for today’s Quordle answer. Or rather ‘answers’ plural, as Quordle has four solutions to find each day.
If you’ve not played it yet, you should — it offers four times the fun of the original viral word game. But it’s arguably more than four times as difficult, as you only have nine guesses to find the quartet of words.
Like Wordle, it also resets each day at 7 p.m. ET, so if you miss one game you’ll have no way of knowing what the previous day’s answers were. Well, unless you bookmark this page, in which case you’ll be able to check today’s Quordle answers at your leisure, as we’ll be updating it each evening.
But be warned: spoilers lie ahead for game #33, so only read on if you want to know today’s Quordle answers! And please don’t use this page to cheat and pretend to others that you got it right when you didn’t really. That would be a misuse of our hard work.
Today’s Quordle answers, game #33, Saturday, February 26
So, what are today’s Quordle answers for game #33?
We won’t keep you in suspense any longer. They are:
I came so close to losing today, despite two of the words being very straightforward. I got PEARL and TOUGH early on; my start word, STARE, had given me three letters in PEARL and a couple in TOUGH and it was easy enough to work those two out based on positions.
But the other two were far harder. What does JUNTO even mean?
Well, according to Merriam-Webster, the definition of JUNTO is:
- group of persons joined for a common purpose
Well, that’s a new one for me. I know junta of course, and JUNTO is apparently derived from it, but to my knowledge I’ve never used or heard the latter word.
A look at Word and Phrase Info makes it clear that it’s an uncommon word; here’s how often today’s Quordle answers feature in the English language:
- PEARL (7,315)
- TOUGH (1,013)
- JUNTO (49,105)
- BELLE (18,316)
Anyway, by the time I’d worked that out I only had a couple of goes left for the last word. I used one up trying to eliminate a couple of possibilities and was fortunate to get BELLE on the last go.
One day there’ll be an easy Quordle I’m sure, but I won’t be holding my breath.

What else should I know about Quordle?
Quordle is one of the many Wordle clones to have arrived in the wake of Wordle’s huge success. It’s essentially the same game, but you play four versions of it simultaneously and have nine attempts to guess all the answers.
The letters behave as they do in Wordle, turning green if they’re in the right place, yellow if they’re in the word but in the wrong location, and gray if they’re not included in the answer at all.
A nice extra is that though there’s only set puzzle per day, a practice mode is also included. And you might well need it, because it’s pretty difficult.
If Quordle is too tough for you, you might prefer something in our list of the best Wordle alternatives, but if you want an even more stressful test then we’d recommend Squabble. We also like the geography-based Wordle clone Worldle, the Star Wars-themed SWordle and the math-based Mathler, among others.
But the original is still the best, so don’t forget to also check our the best Wordle start words and to look at today’s Wordle answer if you won’t get a chance to play.
