Quordle today (game #840) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #840, are…
I would consider this a fairly difficult Quordle, due to the repeated S in CRASS and the Z in PRIZE, and I only solved it with one guess left.
PRICE was the one that tripped me up; by the time I got to it the answer could only have been that or PRIME, but I chose the latter first because M is generally a more common letter. In terms of probability, there’s no reason why that would actually have made a difference, but I need to be able to decide one way or another in these scenarios, and I usually opt for a regular letter.
Anyway, I checked off all the others without having to think too much about it, as my opening words gave me a lot of nice greens so my streak was never really in jeopardy.
