Today's Quordle is pretty easy. Not quite as simple as today's NYT Strands game, immediately, but still not too bad. Then again, that comparison isn't entirely fair, because an easy Quordle is still pretty difficult, so you may well need the clues that I've assembled below. Help yourself to as many as you need.

SPOILER WARNING: Information about Quordle today is below, so don't read on if you don't want to know the answers.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #846, are…

ALIKE
USHER
FLAKE
SUAVE

As Quordles go, this was on the easier side. Or at least it was on the easier side for me, because my three set start words – STARE, DOILY and PUNCH – did a lot of the hard work for me. In fact, I'm thinking of trying a new strategy just because it's not typically much of a challenge playing it this way, and I'll never be able to score better than a 7 out of 9. We'll see.

Anyway, as far as today went, the only tricky one was FLAKE, because the -LA-E pattern I'd uncovered could also have been the likes of FLAME or BLAME. But once I solved that it gave me the K for ALIKE, the other potentially difficult one given how my board was looking at that stage, so I completed the puzzle with one guess spare.
