Quordle today (game #888) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #888, are…
The past few Quordles have been really difficult, and today’s is no exception. KNOWN is one of those annoying words that is really common but has such an unusual structure that it can remain out of mind until it’s too late, the silent K and repeated N combining to disguise the word itself. HYENA is worse still, with every letter out of place. Add in the repeated Es in NERVE and Is in ALIBI and you have all the ingredients for a troublesome Quordle.
On the plus side, I completed the Daily Sequence in what may be my lowest score yet, thanks in no small part to STARE, one of my three start words, turning up as the fourth answer.
