The answers to today's Quordle, game #1162, are…

  • RECUT
  • MOODY
  • WHERE
  • BRACE

After a run of checking out after seven guesses, I hit a small bump in the road today but still got lucky and completed Quordle with a line to spare.

RECUT was very tricky as it wasn't the most obvious word from the letters I had available (but both truce and cruet were not possible) and it took me a while to realize there were no other possibilities.

Meanwhile, a huge slice of good fortune getting a word in two goes helped me beat my Daily Sequence hoodoo and return to winning ways.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
