My dryer blew up and there is no chance of repair — it was pretty old anyway. I found a used dryer and brought it home. Unfortunately, the cord don't match the receptacle. I Need to know if there are adapters for this or is there an easy DIY solution?

You'll simply have to purchase a 4 prong dryer cord, which can be found at any local hardware store or big box store.
Then follow the dryer manufacturers installation instructions for connecting a 4 prong plug.
Most dryers will be wired similarly to the one described in this answer, though it could vary a bit from manufacturer to manufacturer.

1I've done this or the inverse several times - it's trivially easy. All you need is a screwdriver.– JohnSep 24, 2013 at 14:50
