Quordle today (game #1078) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1078, are…
Even though today’s Quordle featured zero Es, I still found it useful to stick with my second start word of STEER. After seeing that the most popular vowel was missing here, I had the confidence to gamble that there was a double O word instead – and so it proved, with WOOLY and then GROOM.
By the time I got to PIVOT I had so few letters left there was no other choice.
