The answers to today's Quordle, game #824, are…

  • QUACK
  • BERET
  • SKULL
  • LATHE

It's been a while since we've had an uncommon letter in Quordle, but we got one today in the form of the Q in QUACK. Fortunately, it didn't cause me any problems because I already had -UAC- and as far as I could see there was no other word that could have fit there – but it may have caused more of an issue for you.

That aside, BERET was probably the hardest Quordle word to solve today. B is a very common starting letter, but those Es either side of an R are no so likely to appear, so format-wise it may not have occurred to you.
