  • CELLO
  • PRIVY
  • HUMOR
  • PAPER

I returned to my standard Quordle strategy today after a few days of experimentation… and oh boy did I miss it! Yes, it may be somewhat predictable, but beginning with three set start words is objectively the best way to beat this game. Don't agree? Send me an email explaining what your superior method is, and I promise I'll give it a go myself.

Today's answers are relatively difficult, with a couple of repeated letters and uncommon spelling formats, but all fell into place comfortably for me, with my opening trio doing most of the hard work.

By the fourth guess I already had four letters in place for each of the four answers, with the top right, PRIVY, being particularly easy thanks to the three greens I had there. The hardest was probably CELLO – it's very uncommon to have a C followed by E at the start like that – but a combination of guesswork and luck kept me on track and I solved the entire Quordle with two guesses remaining. Normal service is restored…
