Quordle Answers for September 24, 2026 (#1704)
Here are all four answers for today’s Quordle:
Word 1: TOPIC
Word 2: METRO
Word 3: SCALP
Word 4: FREED
TOPIC is the straightforward opener – common letters and no unusual vowel placement. Most players crack it in two or three guesses.
METRO catches people who do not immediately think of public transit. The double-vowel setup in the middle of the word can burn a guess if you are not careful with placement.
SCALP is the trickiest of the four today. The SC opening combination is uncommon enough to delay recognition, and the word sits at the edge of everyday vocabulary. Think skin above the hairline, or the practice of ticket reselling – both definitions apply.
FREED closes the puzzle on a satisfying note. Once the letters start falling into place, the path to the solution is clean. The double-E in the middle is a reliable anchor.
