What are Quordle Statistics?
While The New York Times (NYT) introduced the Wordlebot for Wordle that tracks data and then shows players the analysis, Quordle has gone down a different road. They offer solvers’ statistics via data that is collected after a player plays a grid and then displays the player’s performance. These statistics are basically the player’s win percentage, streak count, the average number of guesses they take, win distribution (guesses to complete all four words), and more.
This is collected because the game tracks a player’s daily statistics and then gives out achievements and trophies for accomplishments. Players can view their performances and statistics, and then practice depending on how they need to improve. It’s why Quordle also offers a practice mode, which allows players to practice strategies, new starting words, and more without worrying about their statistics. This is because the practice mode doesn’t affect official statistics and thus solvers can use it to improve as much as they want.
How to Improve Your Quordle Statistics
To improve one’s Quordle’s statistics, it all starts with a lot of practice and using the time spent in Quordle’s practice mode to build strategies and plans. Some players opt to create strategies around their starting guesses, with words that have a mix of vowels and consonants. Others focus on using a few guesses to cut down the list of letters and words they need to guess, and then using the other guesses to gather information across all four grids.
This approach is key when it comes to improving a solver’s Quordle statistics and thus as a result, players need to prioritize gathering information for all four words rather than just one. That’s where many newbies tend to get stuck which means that solvers need to be prepared to adapt and potentially take big leaps to make the most out of their guesses. But that doesn’t mean wasting guesses on words that offer little to no information, especially given what the game asks from a solver.
This is where practice comes as it allows players to create a balanced strategy, and experiment with different starting words, and different methods while improving pattern recognition and their vocabularies at the same time. That in turn will eventually lead to a solver’s Quordle statistic improving as they’ll get better at figuring out how to get themselves unstuck or which grid will help get them closer to their goal.
How Quordle Stats Compare to Wordle Stats
While inspired by Wordle, Quordle is a completely different game and retains only a few similarities to the word game that inspired it. That includes the way they compile statistics which was always going to be the case given the different challenges they offer solvers. Quordle tasks players with solving four words simultaneously and thus it will have more statistics to offer players compared to Wordle’s single-word puzzle.
That includes the number of games played, winning percentage, current streak, win distribution (how many guesses it took to find all four words), and more. Not only that, based on how a player performs, Quordle also offers them achievements that range from guessing a word with two of the same letter or a more tougher one like getting a 50-day streak. While Wordle does show players the number of games played, current streak, and more, that’s the extent of the statistics.
Most of the data offered by the now NYT game is showcased by Wordlebot which analyzes a player’s attempt at the daily challenge and then breaks down the information for them. There’s a lot of information there including methods as to how a player can improve, what words they should have tried and more. That is something Quordle does not offer as of October 2024 and it’s another way in which the two differ.
What Do Global Quordle Stats Reveal About Players?
Thanks to the data given out by Quordle and other websites, the statistics reveal that players find the game very challenging but that hasn’t stopped solvers from playing the game. That is showcased by the fact that the game has over 15 million total players and just over 2 million daily users. Even then, the game’s difficult nature is a trend across countries with even the more skilled professionals reporting a 98% success rate with the puzzle.
That continues as reports indicate that players typically take 7-8 guesses to solve all four words, with games often going down to the final few guesses for most solvers. This is why Quordle offers a practice mode where players can freely improve without worrying about statistics.
