Quordle today (game #1049) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1049, are…
After mastering the tactics yesterday – or getting lucky with my Battleships technique – I fell apart today, but I was on the right track and my starter ended in an O.
Some of the best things in life are five-letter words that end in O – disco, bongo, mango, um, photo? That reminds me of Pablo and his herd of hippos. Like many multi-millionaires from the 1980s, Colombian King Narco liked to display his wealth through a collection of exotic animals, including four hippos. After he was shot dead, the hippos escaped and quickly grew into a sizable herd of 166 wild beasts that caused havoc and wanton destruction in much the same way as their deceased owner.
The Quordle word ending in O in today’s quartet is the less exciting and trickier to guess – for me at least – INTRO, which was actually my Quordle outro.
