Given that Quordle is like Wordle but a lot harder, we do not judge anyone searching for the daily Quordle answers for game #279. 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. (Sometimes, today’s Wordle answer is harder.)

So, what are today’s Quordle answers for game #279?
I won’t make you wait any longer — here you go:
The daily Quordle answers for game #279 were tricky. I was lucky with my 3-6-7-4 score today and it shows how the dominoes fell into place.
Having a good strategy helps, since Quordle can be difficult on a good day.
As usual, I started with my first word, ‘CRANE’. This didn’t give me much today, except for a few scattered consonants. I got two letters in green in the bottom right box so that’s where I decided to start today.
There were many words that could fit in here that end with the letters ‘N’ and ‘E’. I had to play carefully so I didn’t miss too many chances here. My next guess was ‘STONE’. Yikes — it didn’t give me much except for the letter ‘O’ in yellow. I was nowhere close so I moved on to tackle the top left box before coming back to this one.
In the top left box I had two letters in green and one in yellow. I knew the word had two vowels and that it started with the letter ‘S’. I tried the word ‘SOAPY’ next and to my surprise and with sheer luck — it was right!
Unfortunately ‘SOAPY’ still didn’t give me much in my troublesome bottom right box. Coming back to that though, I realized that the word started with ‘O’. I gave it a lot of thought and decided to go with ‘OVINE’ next. Luckily, this was correct.
I then moved to the top right box. Here I had only two letters in green — ‘R’ and ‘O’ in the centre. Again, this seemed like a box that could have so many options at this point. I guessed ‘GROWL’ but it was wrong. It didn’t give any new letters either. A quick glance at the board told me there were now limited letters to try. So I tried ‘BROOM’ after that which turned out to be right.
Jumping down to the last box left to solve — the bottom left one, I noticed I had three letters in yellow and that the word ended with ‘Y’. This should be a simple rearrangement of letters I thought, but I couldn’t think of any word that would fit. I knew the word didn’t start with ‘S’, so I started thinking of words that started with ‘M’ or ‘I’. I could only think of ‘MISSY’ that seemed to check all the boxes. I decided to go with it and lucky again — ‘MISSY’ was correct!
With that, I had all four answers. Hopefully, you all solved it too.

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 either Squabble or Octordle.
We also like the new Heardle, which is like Wordle for pop music, plus 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.
