The answers to today's Quordle, game #1033, are…

CUTIE
ALOOF
ETUDE
SILLY

ETUDE is one of those words I don't think I've ever seen other than in Quordle. Every time it appears – which has been at least three now, I think, maybe more – I look up the definition then forget it. (It's something to do with musical notation, I think). But I do remember how to spell it, and that it's a word to be aware of.

If you're not familiar with it then it will most likely be the most difficult of today's quarters, although I'll also give a shout out to ALOOF, which has an F in an uncommon location and a repeated O to deal with. SALLY has a repeated L too, of course, and is one of several words that can fit the -ALLY format, along with TALLY, RALLY, PALLY and WALLY. So in summary: today's Quordle was a tricky one for sure!
