Quordle today (game #1085) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1085, are…
A cunning trick, Quordle, repeating a word from yesterday (unless my memory is playing tricks with me PETAL also featured in game #1084), but nonetheless I was positively GIDDY to guess all four words with a line to go.
As often happens – that memory again – I began today’s game thinking I was playing the Daily Sequence, so missed out on my double E tactic with my second guess. Going with WHEEL with my third guess did help me get closer to CHEAP, so it was quite a lucky mistake in the end.
