The answers to today's Quordle, game #1064, are…

  • SNAKE
  • SAVVY
  • ELBOW
  • TWEED

I crashed out today, guessing the wrong double letters twice for SAVVY.

All was going so well as I landed on SNAKE and ELBOW fairly quickly, and had TWEED been my guess of TWEET I’m certain I would have completed the quartet.

Some days you just have to accept that you’ve been beaten.
