The answers to today's Quordle, game #1039, are…

  • GRADE
  • WORRY
  • NOISE
  • DAISY

This is about as straightforward as Quordle ever gets. All four words are well known, all the letters are common, there's only one repeat to worry about, and the whole thing only took me about two minutes to solve. I don't know how Merriam-Webster decides which words are answers each day – it's possible they're set automatically and have been in place, unchanged, since the game launched. Or maybe they're curated in some way. But what is clear is that some days are far easier than others, and today's is one of the simplest in a while.
