The answers to today's Quordle, game #945, are…

  • NEVER
  • CHUNK
  • AUNTY
  • CROUP

There's only one really difficult word in today's Quordle – NEVER, which has a repeated E, an uncommon V and a difficult ER ending (difficult because there are so many of them). But the others are all OK, so I doubt too many people will struggle massively with this one.

Much, as always, will probably depend on luck – and on what your strategy is and indeed whether you even have one at all. If you don't… great, but how on earth do you solve Quordle each day? You're clearly smarter than me!
