The answers to today's Quordle, game #1099, are…

  • ANGEL
  • GLOBE
  • MAYOR
  • BRAVE

I returned to my regular starting combination of AUDIO and STEER today and it appeared to work out. I’m sure there are better start words than these but I like including all the vowels, the common S start letter and a couple of Es.

It took me a wildshot – guessing BLOKE – to unlock today’s foursome, with GLOBE leading to the next three words.

Meanwhile, the Daily Sequence was a nightmare today. Congratulations if you completed it. I did not.
