The answers to today's Quordle, game #1082, are…

  • BIGOT
  • INLET
  • LEECH
  • TUNIC

I’m on a two-day streak of clearing Quordle in seven lines, thanks to some super-lucky guesswork today – the C in TUNIC helping me get LEECH.

Again, I came close to finishing on my sixth go, but chose the wrong word ending in OT.

Sticking to the same two start words is also helping me get more consistent, but I’m not sure if using a double E word is useful or a waste of a letter.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
