Quordle today (game #849) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #849, are…
It’s been a while since we’ve had an unusual letter in Quordle, but today we got one in the shape of the X in DETOX. That’s probably the hardest word here, although USE can also cause a few problems since U isn’t often seen at the beginning of an answer. Such problems will not arise with AUDIO, as it is almost certainly noticeable early on thanks to the four vowels.
