The answers to today's Quordle, game #1119, are…

  • GHOUL
  • AFIRE
  • COVEN
  • FIERY

I took a leap of faith today, guessing FIERY immediately after correctly entering AFIRE; the Quordle puzzle setters couldn’t include two very similar words in the same puzzle could they? Oh yes, they could.

Meanwhile, COVEN and GHOUL sound as if they could both feature in the same horror movie. It was all very thematic today.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
