The answers to today's Quordle, game #1096, are…

  • GRIND
  • STOCK
  • SERVE
  • TOUCH

Despite a very good start getting STOCK and TOUCH in the first four turns I labored to finish today’s Quordle.

I’m struggling with a head cold at the moment and I think it showed with my guesses for SERVE, where I tried SEVER even though I already knew the word couldn’t end in ER. 

Sometimes it’s such a struggle to extract a guess from my brain that I rush to type it before thinking. This is not, frankly, very helpful for Quordle…
