Quordle today (game #1040) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1040, are…
Not too long ago we had FOIST as an answer in Quordle and it almost cost me my streak (which was a non-streak at that point anyway, as I had failed the day before). Today I was left with the same -OIST challenge, and I’d like to report that I played much more sensibly. Unfortunately, I can’t do that – because instead of trying to narrow down the options JOIST, FOIST and MOIST (the three I had left at the time), I gambled and played JOIST. I was lucky, but it could easily have been different. Don’t do what I do!
Other than JOIST there are no major issues, although DROOL – which could also have been DROLL – might catch a few people’s attention. Hopefully you weren’t there.
