Quordle today (game #1087) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1087, are…
I was just one letter away from my personal best in Quordle today, and I guessed ENJOY instead of ENVOY.
On my third guess it was the game unlocker; after forming RISE with the letters I had, I played with RISER but got lucky with the right choice. Before guessing TEACH – which led me to PLATE – I considered entering EXACT, but backed out due to the rarity of the letter X.
In the meantime, I completed today’s Sequence puzzle in six, which makes me wonder if the word-by-word technique would also give me better results in the main game.
