The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1036, are…

DRYLY is the kind of word that pops up every now and then in Quordle of Wordle and can cause all kinds of problems because it doesn’t contain any vowels. Or is it? There is a debate (in some admittedly niche circles) about whether Y counts as a vowel or not. The answer is that sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. That is certainly the case here, with the ‘I’ sound in the middle and the ‘E’ sound at the end being replaced. However, I don’t count Y as a vowel in my Quordle hints because it would be far too confusing to do so.

Other than the dry stuff, today’s game isn’t too difficult, but I came close because I guessed SPOON when the answer was SNOOP. Other than that, it was quite approachable, as Quordle says.
