Quordle today (game #1014) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1014, are…
The puzzle setters at Merriam-Webster really threw the full gamut of Quordle complications at us today. KNOWN contains a repeated letter and also two uncommon letters in K and W, and also an uncommon spelling in the form of that KN at the start. ELBOW has a W at the end of the word, QUIRK has a very rare Q. On the plus side, none of the four words are obscure, at least.
Still, it was a difficult one, and I didn’t make the task easier for myself by stupidly guessing BOWEL when the E had already been ruled out in that place. I nearly followed up with an also-impossible BELOW before taking a pause and spotting ELBOW. Phew!
