Welcome to Wednesday's Quordle. It's the same as Monday's, Tuesday's and all the other days, other than it takes place today and not on a different one. Ahem.

As always, you get four Wordle-style puzzles to solve at the same time, plus there's a further game in the form of the Daily Sequence variant, where you complete them in turn. And as always, it can be tricky – so there's no shame if you need to use some of my hints.

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

Quordle today (game #821) - the answers

The answers to today's Quordle, game #821, are…

  • STEAD
  • CANAL
  • SHEEN
  • UNITE

The combination of repeated letters and relatively uncommon words (STEAD, SHEEN) combined today to make this another fairly tough Quordle. Not horrendously difficult, but come on – it's hard enough completing all four quadrants as it is, without some of the words being harder to solve than standard.

That said, my own game would have been a lot more straightforward if I hadn't played SHINE rather than SHEEN, even though I already knew the third letter had to be E. That was a silly mistake, but it didn't cause me any major problem and I was still able to solve this Quordle with one guess remaining.
