The answers to today’s Quordle question, game #942, are…

Sometimes my opening words—STARE, DOILY, and PUNCH—make Quordle much easier than it would otherwise be. Yesterday was such a day, and today was another: those three words gave me five letters for SATYR and CLONE, which gave me a couple of easy anagrams to solve, plus four for LAUGH and CACHE; I was in no danger of failing today.

I’ve experimented with using two starter words instead, or even one, but both strategies simply leave too much work. I’ll never score higher than a 7 with this approach, but I also solve almost every puzzle – which suits my cautious nature.
