Quordle today (game #918) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #918, are…
- TAWNY
- INDEX
- SHOOK
- SALVE
This is a fairly standard Quordle, in that it's moderately difficult. That's the default, right? Fairly hard is the norm, easy the exception. There's an X here, immediately complicating things, plus a repeated O in SHOOK. TAWNY is a relatively uncommon word, SALVE maybe so too. I got there, but it was always a struggle.
