I really messed up today's Quordle, which is admittedly a tough one but which I should still have done better with. My big mistake was playing SHRUB when I knew (or rather, should have noticed) that it couldn't be the answer because I needed to include a C. This is a fairly unforgivable error as far as Quordle goes – of all the mistakes you can make, this ranks at the top. A couple of other incorrect guesses left me needing to solve the final one, WIGHT, on the last guess and escape with a score of nine.
