Quordle today (game #832) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #832, are…
This must have been one of the worst starts I’ve ever had for a Quordle. Usually my three set starting words – STARE, DOILY and PUNCH – give me the majority of the letters I need. But today I only had three yellows for the first quadrant, two for the second, one yellow and two green for the third, and three yellows for the fourth.
Luckily the options in that fourth one, bottom right, were T, H and U – so I merged them with my unplayed M and B and uncovered THUMB. In the bottom left, I wanted to identify where the yellow E went, so I played EACH to give myself two chances to solve it. This didn’t work per se, but it did confirm that the answer was -E-RY. FERRY was the only word I could think of, and it was true.
At the top left I had three more yellow shades. Two were E and R, so I went with WAGER to hide the usual ER format, while playing two more unplayed letters. Again, it was wrong, but the A, E and R turned green and the G yellow, so I knew it had to be GAZER. That left one more, and the W I had played earlier now made it clear that it should be TWEET.
So here we had a Z plus a few repeated letters, and one of the more difficult recent Quordles. What a rollercoaster!
