The answers to today's Quordle, game #1153, are…

  • PICKY
  • BRACE
  • BOOZE
  • SURLY

A close shave for me, as I struggled to find words that began B-O and ended in E with the letters I had left.

In the end I decided it had to include a double-O but it took me a while before I realized there had to be a rare Z too. I don’t think any starting combination would have made getting BOOZE any easier.

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