Quordle today (game #842) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #842, are…
Today’s Quordle puzzle itself doesn’t have too many complications – no unusual letters or words, just one repeated letter – I found it to be quite a difficult puzzle. The reason for this was in large part due to the large number of vowels and the addition of several consonants that were not among my three seed words: STARE, DOILY, and PUNCH.
While it’s helpful to have vowels, they don’t usually give a word the structure that consonants do, so I had trouble figuring out what AHEAD and ABUSE were. And as for the consonants, I had to add B, M, G, and W, none of which are in my starting words. Still, I ended up there in the end.
