Quordle today (game #1070) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1070, are…
A difficult one today, with a three-letter word EMCEE, the pronounced abbreviation of MC (abbreviation of master of ceremonies) and a sound word (SPLAT).
That said, PURER was the word I struggled with the most, because none of the words I could think of that started with a U and ended in ER were possible with the letters I had left. I always forget to try a repeat letter, but when I do it often leads to the solution and that turned out to be the case today.
