Quordle today (game #975) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #975, are…
- UMBRA
- DADDY
- GLAZE
- PRANK
According to Merriam-Webster, the dictionary that now owns Quordle, UMBRA means "a conical shadow excluding all light from a given source". I didn't know that before playing today's game, but I do now – so in that sense, Quordle is doing its job! The fact that I solved it without knowing it was an accident. I had the letters U, R, B and A in the top-left of the board, but couldn't assemble them into a word. But I wanted to play something that might at least change some yellows into green, so played around with letter combinations until I found one that the game would accept as a guess. I had no real expectation that it would be right, but all five letters turned green and I solved what was probably the toughest of today's quartet.
Not that the others were easy; DADDY contains a rare triple letter, GLAZE an uncommon Z, so anyone solving today's Quordle can give themselves a pat on the back.
