Today’s Quordle Hints and Answers for August 26, 2025
Today’s Quordle? A mix of satisfying "aha!" moments and classic word-game trickery. In case you just crawled out of a long meeting (or hit snooze way too often): the answers were BEGET, WRATH, HEARD, and INDEX. If that’s all you need, then congrats—go treat yourself to a cookie or, if you're me, another coffee. For the rest of us, the real joy was in the process, sweating through each grid and wondering if "extreme anger" really had to be so blunt.
Some days Quordle feels like a mind-reader. Others, like today, it's just poking fun at how much we overthink simple clues. “Listened to”—how is that so hard?
Hints for Today's Quordle Answers
The official clues for August 26 delivered just the sort of nudge that makes you wish you hadn’t had that second slice of cake before guessing. Here’s the rundown, with a little commentary:
-
There are no Os or Us—so goodbye to favorites like ‘audio’ and ‘house,’ at least for today. I burned a whole guess on ‘sound’ before remembering this clue. Sigh.
-
One word has two Es—double letters always make my editor-brain second-guess every spelling.
-
Every word ends in a consonant. That’s not much—until you realize how much brain real estate vowels usually take up.
For the crossword-style crowd, today’s prompts went like this:
-
Bring into existence
-
Extreme anger
-
Listened to
-
Contents
That "bring into existence" clue made me flashback to some wonky philosophy discussions in college, where “BEGET” would have been a show-off answer. As for “extreme anger”—WRATH is so biblical, I half expected to see “thou shalt not” written in one of the grids.
Answer: Quordle Solutions for August 26, 2025
Sometimes the answers feel obvious. Other times, you stare at the screen, convinced you’re the victim of some cruel wordplay. Today, the final grid looked like this:
-
BEGET – I’d bet most folks haven’t used this outside a Shakespeare class or dramatic family reunion, but here it is, bringing a puzzle into existence.
-
WRATH – If you guessed ‘anger’ or ‘fury’ first, welcome to the club—one of those easy to miss but obvious once you see it.
-
HEARD – Gone are the days when ‘heard’ was just something my mom accused me of not doing. Today it was the key to a puzzle.
-
INDEX – “Contents” had me thinking about books, and maybe glancing at my own messy file drawer. Yes, I’m that person.
I had a streak of almosts—’breed’ for BEGET, ‘raged’ for WRATH (close, but no dice). And there was a split second I considered “HELLO” for “listened to.” Clearly, not my day for auditory clues.
How to Play Quordle?
If today’s game made you want to slam your laptop shut, let me back up for newcomers. Quordle is like Wordle with a quad espresso shot: you get nine tries to guess four different five-letter words, all at once, across four grids. Your guesses affect every grid, so a smart opening word can help everywhere (multitaskers rejoice).
Letters lighting up green mean they’re in the right spot; yellow means yes, but wrong spot; plain gray is just cruel. The real trick? Not falling in love with any one answer—sometimes you have to let go of your first instinct and try something wild (I recommend this strategy in life as well).
Some tips:
-
Start with words with plenty of vowels—think ‘media’ or ‘panel.’ Or, just get weird and toss in “wreak.”
-
Don’t get bogged down by one grid. Bounce around. Suddenly, everything clicks.
-
There’s a practice mode—honestly, I use it more than is probably healthy.
And, if today’s puzzle made you question your sense of hearing or the definition of “contents,” don’t worry. Tomorrow is another day—and another set of words that might make you mutter, laugh, and feel a spark of triumph.
