Quordle today (game #864) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #864, are…
- BROOD
- PENAL
- SANDY
- RELAY
Nothing major to report here. None of the words could be described as obscure, there's only one repeated letter, no uncommon letters, not even any letters in uncommon places… it's a standard Quordle on the easier side of things.
I did 'lose' one guess – by which I mean that once I've played my three start words, the soonest I could solve Quordle would be in seven. Today, it took me eight, because I played PANEL rather than PENAL. But that was a minor mishap and I never felt like I was in any danger today.
