I had a bit of luck with today’s Quordle. I didn’t know the word COVEY until a long time ago, and honestly, if it hadn’t been a happy coincidence, it could have caused me a lot of trouble.
I now use a random seed word in Wordle (I used to open with STARE every day), and COVEY was the word my computer handed out to me on Tuesday. It wasn’t hugely useful in that game, but it was fresh in my mind for this Quordle.
TWEAK and DITTO were also relatively tough, making this a fairly difficult game overall. The Daily Sequence puzzle, meanwhile, was even harder; who knew TONGA was a noun? Not me…
