Each morning, and at midnight in every time zone, a small daily puzzle resets for those who play Quordle, and on Saturday, October 10, it arrived as game #1720. TechRadar offered four hidden five-letter words along with a ladder of hints, moving from the vague to the specific, so that a player could seek only as much help as they wished before the answers were revealed. Among the four answers, SWEAT, THIRD, RURAL and CLASP, the puzzle is a small ritual of language and patience, one of countless such habits that quietly shape how people spend a few minutes of their day.
Quordle Today: Hints and Answers for Game #1720 (Saturday, October 10)
One more line would have got me there
Mark
So what's actually new here? It's a puzzle answer page.
Mimi
Right, it's a daily utility piece. Game #1720 for Saturday, October 10, with hints that get more revealing as you scroll, then the four answers.
Mark
What are the answers?
Mimi
SWEAT, THIRD, RURAL and CLASP. RURAL is the one with a repeated letter.
Luke
Worth noting the hints are the site's own framing. They say four vowels in total, but that counts only A, E, I, O and U, not Y. Anyone using a different convention would count differently.
Mark
And the columnist lost a streak?
Mimi
Yes. Three guesses on CLASP left no room for error, and the writer says one more line would have done it.
Luke
That's one player's account of one game. It says nothing about how hard the puzzle was for everyone else.
Mark
There's also a Daily Sequence version?
Mimi
Same game number, different words: CARGO, BRAVO, EXACT and STAVE.
Luke
The page doesn't say how that variant differs beyond the answers, so I wouldn't assume more.
Mark
What comes next?
Mimi
A new puzzle at midnight local time. Game #1721.
El Pulso
- The four hidden words arrive all at once, and players must crack them within a limited number of guesses.
- Hints come in layers, from the vague clue about vowels to the blunt reveal of the starting letters S, T, R and C.
- One answer, RURAL, carries a doubled R, while the other three keep their letters distinct.
- The columnist's win streak ends on CLASP after three guesses, with the margin for error gone.
- Tomorrow's game, #1721, is already waiting to reset at midnight local time.
Each morning, and at midnight in every time zone, a small daily puzzle resets for those who play Quordle, and on Saturday, October 10, it arrived as game #1720. TechRadar offered four hidden five-letter words along with a ladder of hints, moving from the vague to the specific, so that a player could seek only as much help as they wished before the answers were revealed.

Quordle game #1720, the puzzle for Saturday, October 10, came with four hidden five-letter words and a set of hints from TechRadar for players who wanted help before committing. The puzzle resets at midnight in each player's own time zone, so some people are always working on today's grid while others are still finishing yesterday's.
The hints build gradually. First come the vowels: the four answers together use four different vowels from A, E, I, O and U. Then comes the clue that exactly one answer repeats a letter, followed by the reassurance that none of the rare letters Q, Z, X or J appears. The fourth hint notes that no two answers share a starting letter, and the fifth gives the starting letters outright. The column warns readers before revealing the answers, so anyone who wants to solve unaided can stop there.
The answers were SWEAT, THIRD, RURAL and CLASP. RURAL is the word with the repeated R. The columnist, who played along, reports that the day ended a win streak: three guesses to land CLASP left no room for error, and one more line of thinking would have been enough.
The page also carries the Daily Sequence variant, whose answers were CARGO, BRAVO, EXACT and STAVE, and a list of the previous twenty standard answers, running back to game #1700 on September 20. Quordle, TechRadar notes, was among the first Wordle alternatives and has now run for more than 1,500 games. The next puzzle, #1721, appears at midnight local time.
