Quordle today (game #917) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #917, are…
Ooh, this is a potentially nasty Quordle puzzle. Three of the answers contain a repeated letter, the other one an uncommon Q. I needed all nine guesses to complete it, and my streak was undoubtedly at risk going into guess 8. In fact, I got lucky with that one when I guessed BLAME rather foolishly; if the answer had been GLAZE or FLAKE I’d have faced a 50/50 on the final guess. As it happened, the L stayed yellow, which meant it had to be LEAVE. Phew!
