Quordle today (game #890) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #890, are…
- YACHT
- LODGE
- BELLY
- COVET
I remain undecided about the new strategy I'm employing, which involves using two start words rather than the three I was previously beginning with. However, it may be that I just haven't chosen the right letters. Today, for instance, I sorely missed the Y that would have been included in my old strategy; it led YACHT and ended BELLY, and made the task all the harder.
As a result, it took me eight guesses today, which is no better (and possibly worse) than my standard score. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
