Quintle answer FAQ
How is the daily Quintle word chosen?
Quintle draws its daily word from a large curated pool of common five-letter words. Over a long run a word may eventually come round again, but never on consecutive days, and every puzzle is checked before it is published.
Is there a Quintle archive?
Yes. Every past Quintle answer is catalogued by date and puzzle number, and each entry has its own page with that day's answer.
How do I play past Quintle puzzles?
Open the archive in the game and pick any of the last 45 days to replay that day's board from the first guess. Past puzzles do not affect your current streak, so they are a relaxed way to practise.
When does a new Quintle come out?
A new Quintle unlocks each day at midnight. duplixo generates the word and runs it through our checks before the day’s guide is published.
Got the answer? Put it to work.
With a single vowel and no repeats, the work today is placement: the letters are gettable, but pinning each one to its exact slot is where guesses go.
A clean way through is to spend an early guess fixing the vowel (A) and the ending letter T; once those anchors hold, the remaining slots collapse quickly.
