Quordle today (game #1044) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #1044, are…
- FUDGE
- THICK
- CRANK
- STASH
FUDGE is one of those Quordle words you have to be very careful with, because it's a classic example of the two-many-answers variety: BUDGE, NUDGE and JUDGE are all alternatives. Fortunately I still had plenty of guesses left by the time I got to it, and so didn't need to worry about it costing me the game. However, PUNCH on the Daily Sequence is even worse: BUNCH, HUNCH, LUNCH and MUNCH could all also be in play here. Watch out for these traps or you'll be in trouble…
