Quordle today (game #1061) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #1061, are…
- PENAL
- EAGLE
- DILLY
- QUITE
Getting the first word in four is about as good as it gets for me – and I even got all four answers before having to sweat on the final line.
Knowing four letters helped me get the tricky QUITE and I took a gamble that the word ending LE with an A was EAGLE. I did waste a line with DILLY, though, by completely forgetting I already knew the word had a D in it. I think I was blinded by how well it was going.
